Actor-producer Anushka Sharma on Sunday penned a heartfelt note for her cricketer husband Virat Kohli.

Anushka Sharma posted her message on social media site Instagram and shared candid pictures of Kohli and wrote how she saw the cricketer grow leaps and bounds ever since he took on the Test captaincy.
“I remember the day in 2014 when you told me that you have been made the captain as MS had decided to retire from test cricket. I remember MS, you and I having a chat later that day and him joking about how quickly your beard will start turning grey. We all had a good laugh about it. Since that day, I’ve seen more than just your beard turning grey,” Anushka said.
Here is the complete post of Anushka Sharma:
“I’ve seen growth. Immense growth. Around you and within you. And yes, I am very proud of your growth as the captain of the Indian National Cricket team and what achievements the team had under your leadership. But I’m more proud of the growth you achieved within you,” she wrote.
Sharma recalled how in 2014, the couple was “young and naive”, who believed just good intentions, positive drive and motives can take one ahead in life.
Kohli led India to the top of world rankings and during his tenure, the team recorded a memorable series win in Australia.
The cricketer had recently quit as T20 captain and was later sacked as ODI captain by the BCCI.
A tough one to take. Thank you to all the fans for your support 🇮🇳🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/24wyhnhdyW
