It is said that Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli first met each other in 2013 while filming for a TV commercial. Rumours of the two dating started soon after and fans across the country were rooting for the couple. But this wasn t the smoothest journey for the duo. Virat s bad performances at the pitch were blamed on Anushka but Virat stood up for his lady and put up this Instagram post defending her. There were also rumours that the two had broken up but their numerous sightings together defied these reports. Virat has been very open when it comes to speaking about his lady luck . He hasn t hesitated to acknowledge that she has been a strong presence in his life. Anushka also acknowledged their relationship but decided to stay tight lipped after their bond was scrutinised by fans and took away from the focus on her work. During the promotions of NH10 Anushka was visibly upset when a journalist was more interested in her relationship than her film. Anushka was with Virat when he earned the coveted position of captain and has been with him through thick and thin. Virat also appreciates her work and has made it clear by praising her films on social media. Just watched #NH10 and i am blown away. What a brilliant film and specially an outstanding performance by my love @AnushkaSharma. SO PROUD:) Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) March 17 2015 The couple made their first red carpet appearance at the Vogue Beauty Awards in 2015. They looked picture perfect together and since then have been been spotted at many other events too. The two have busy schedules that require a lot of traveling but have made sure that they spend time with each other. Virat flew to various places whenever Anushka was travelling for work and has also visited her film sets on numerous occasions. Anushka too spent time attending his matches and events where Virat s presence was mandatory. The two looked much in love when they attended Yuvraj Singh s wedding last year. In December 2016 the couple visited Dehradun and it was rumoured that the two were there to get engaged. Virat cleared up the rumours by tweeting about the same which left a lot of fans disappointed. we aren t getting engaged & if we were going to we wouldn t hide it.

Captain Virat Kohli and long-time girlfriend Anushka Sharma got married in Italy on Monday and the entire attention of cricket fans the media and everyone else is by an large focused on that. That leaves the side in a relatively unfamiliar situation of preparing for a must-win match as they take on Sri Lanka in the 2nd ODI of the three-match series at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium in Mohali on Wednesday. The humiliating loss in the 1st ODI in Dharamsala was not just a danger signal for the series but also raises questions about the series in South Africa where the conditions won t be great for the batsmen. Proving that the opening day surrender to Sri Lanka pacers at the Eden Gardens was no aberration the Indian batting stood exposed once again against the moving ball. Mohali won t be as cold as Dharamsala but the pacers should come into play considering it is another 11:30 a.m. start to the day-night affair. In that case it will be another test for the Indian batsmen if the home team happens to bat first in a must-win contest. Barring old war-horse MS Dhoni the highly-rated batsmen seemed like sitting ducks every time Suranga Lakmal pitched the ball up in the off-stump corridor. After the experienced Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan fell early it was an ideal opportunity for the likes of Shreyas Iyer Dinesh Karthik and Manish Pandey to weather the initial storm and make a big score. However they all came a cropper and if it was not for Dhoni s fighting 65 India could well be out for their lowest ever total. If it was one person who would be gutted looking at his teams performance it would be Kohli who opted out of the series to get married to Anushka in Italy. Rohit leading the side in Kohli s absence was not amused either in his first ODI as captain. Though he promised that the team will learn from Dharamsala debacle and bounce back in the remaining two games. It is important to thrive in these conditions and come out good. It is an eye-opener for all of us Rohit had said after the seven-wicket loss. He is unlikely to tinker with the playing eleven but there is a possibility that Ajinkya Rahane is picked to shore up the inexperienced batting especially the middle-order. Rahane sat out of the opening game as the team management only sees him as the back-up opener in the presence of Sharma and Dhawan. However he has batted in the middle-order in a few games out of the 84 ODIs he has played. In the bowling department the worry for India will be the performance of Hardik Pandya who again leaked runs as the hosts tried to defend a paltry 112. He is picked as the bowling all-rounder for the South Africa Test series and needs to be at the top of his game ahead of the crucial tour starting next month. Considering Sri Lanka cantered to victory in 20.4 overs spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav did not come on to bowl. They would be itching to get back into action after a month s gap. The win must have done a world of good to the islanders confidence after the beating they have taken at the hands of India at home and away this season. Lakmal was lethal again on a helping pitch while Angelo Mathews too made a promising return with the ball. Also effective on a seaming surface was pacer Nuwan Pradeep. The batting too clicked and completed the modest chase rather comfortably.

Match starts at 11:30 am. (With inputs from PTI) A disturbing thing happened last month. Sachin Tendulkar the most unapproachable personage in cricket was suddenly eager to be interviewed. Tendulkar is currently promoting a documentary film called Sachin: A Billion Dreams. At moments like these The Talent often finds itself wheeled out grudgingly for a 10-minute round-table clichefest. This was different though. This time Tendulkar was jarringly up for it. Not only was he available. Sachin seemed to have picked me out specifically to interview him insisting above all on this detail. Yes his people confirmed Sachin is available for an exclusive one on one. How much time did I need? Where would be convenient? Sachin is flexible. Just say the word. Naturally this was quite upsetting and I immediately felt both protective and nostalgic. For as long as I can remember simply asking to see Sachin in person would have elicited the same response a burst of disbelieving laughter down the phone as Patrick Bateman calling Dorsia and demanding a table for two the same night. And rightly so. Nobody wants an available human-scale Sachin. He s a part of the firmament out there not down here. He s like Nigel Tufnell s collection of guitars in Spinal Tap. You don t even look at Sachin. Sachin Tendulkar: When I was injured I could not sleep at night Read more Happily before long the world began to right itself. A few days later an email arrived from a more terse-sounding Sachin-affiliate explaining he would be available only on the phone. This was more like it. Doors were closing velveteen VIP ropes being hastily re-erected. Relieved a little tearful mainly I was just happy for Sachin. A week later confirmation came that Sachin wouldn t even be on the phone. He would now be interviewed only by email an A-list ruse that presumably involves a PA or a scribe or an interview-wallah tapping away while the man himself consorts with the illuminati overlords on Mars. As I dashed off a fond happy reply Under no circumstances would we ... it felt as though all was right again. I never believed them Sach. You ve still got it. You re still big. It s just existing inside a sealed celebrity demi-god bubble that got small. The reason for mentioning this and dwelling on it so long is that Tendulkar has also lingered in the background of the achievements of Virat Kohli in the past six months a run of exhilarating batting form that reached a fresh high this week with another double century against Sri Lanka in Delhi. Against England in Pune earlier this year Kohli reeled off a match-winning hundred so fine it made you feel drunk just watching it Admittedly Sri Lanka have been poor in India and the last Test was more notable for the spectacle of players vomiting on the outfield as the Delhi air which kills thousands each year descended on the Feroz Shah Kotla like an icy strangulating hand. But Kohli is in the middle of something extraordinary performing at an all-format plateau beyond the reach of any other player in the current era. The Test rankings have Kohli in second place 45 points behind Steve Smith another player on an astonishing run. If Kohli nudges ahead of Smith in January he will all things being equal become the first to occupy the No1 spot simultaneously in Tests ODIs and T20s. Small beans perhaps but a fair reflection of Kohli s feats over the last three years. Never mind best in the world such is his record his dash his style it is probably time to have that other conversation the one about greatness a hierarchy of brilliance that transcends the age. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Virat Kohli celebrates his double century against Sri Lanka. Photograph: Altaf Qadri/AP As with so many good things this started in earnest with a miserable English summer. In 34 Tests since India s 2014 tour Kohli averages 66.92 with 14 hundreds seven of them outside India. In the same period he averages 65.52 in ODIs with 13 hundreds while also rattling along at a ridiculous 61.50 in T20s. Kohli has five double hundreds in his past 16 Tests. He averages 83 in 31 ODIs in the same period. Nobody has ever batted like this across three international formats. This is a cricketer drowning in honey. It is hard to process such brilliance at the best of times. In terms of modern-day Indian batting you keep coming back to Tendulkar who was for so long an object of such unconditional veneration there seemed no space left for any more genius no air in the room no superlative unspent. Comparisons are always skewed but they are also illuminating. Tendulkar already looks like a presence from an entirely different age a strangely mute devotional version of Indian sporting supremacy a cricketer who seemed to carry around with him his own square of light a clear pure space. By comparison Kohli is a strikingly secular figure entirely unrestrained striding out to bat like the handsome young new commander of the space fleet. Watching him is always a riot cricket played out at an astonishing pitch of fluency and aggression an otherworldly talent expressed right to its outer limits. Against England in Pune at the start of the year he reeled off a match-winning hundred so fine it made you feel drunk just watching it orthodox shots played with a bat that seemed to be exhilaratingly alive to flex and twang with a kind of animate intelligence. Moeen Ali: England have got to take Australia s Ashes sledging on the chin Read more At this stage the only real argument around Kohli s greatness is the state of the game around him. For some his astonishing returns are evidence of the low standard of Test cricket double hundreds burped out almost without noticing against bitty underpowered attacks. This is more than a little unfair. Tendulkar made his runs at a higher career average against some of the best spin and pace bowling the sport has seen but there has always been filler around too. And talent will keep on coming. It is the responsibility of cricket not to gauge and rank and downplay brilliance but simply to make itself worthy of it to provide a fitting theatre for such extraordinary gifts. For Kohli the chance is there to end any lasting debate about his status in the coming months. In 2018 India will play Tests in South Africa England and Australia. That English summer already looks like the final frontier Kohli s humiliating failure on these shores the only blight on his record. Beware homogenised right-arm fast-medium bowlers and flat late-summer pitches. Kohli the obsessive the workaholic all gleaming will-to-power will hurl himself into righting this and into completing his own four-year cycle of unanswerable and undeniable greatness.
