Anushka Sharma's darling husband Virat Kohli kisses his wedding ring after scoring a winning century against Pakistan

As Virat Kohli sealed India’s victory against Pakistan with a four, he also celebrated his 51st ODI century. The electrifying moment had the Dubai stadium roaring with cheers, while fans worldwide applauded him. Instead of soaking in the glory, Virat humbly kissed his wedding ring, proudly flaunting the special locket he wears.
While some might see it as a celebratory gesture, Virat’s fans know it was much more—it was a tribute to his love for Anushka Sharma. Through highs and lows, she has been his unwavering support, especially during tough phases in his career. His heartfelt gesture wasn’t just about victory but about honouring their enduring love story in the world of cricket.

Virat has made this heartfelt gesture before. It all started in 2018 when he first celebrated by pulling out his locket after scoring a century. During a tough match in Centurion, South Africa, he played an incredible 153-run innings, helping India reach 300 runs. As he hit this milestone, he kissed his locket in celebration.

When Virat was dating Anushka, she often came to the stadium to support him, but she was unfairly blamed for his poor performance. After India's loss in the 2015 World Cup, she faced heavy criticism. By kissing his ring, Virat shows how he dedicates his success to the partner who always stood by him.
Meanwhile, after India's victory over Pakistan in the Champions Trophy 2025, Anushka Sharma praised her husband, Virat Kohli. On February 23, 2025, she shared a picture of him from the Dubai cricket ground on her Instagram Stories, expressing her love with a red heart and two folded-hands emojis.
