Anushka Sharma on Virat's Test cricket retirement: You've earned every bit of this

Anushka Sharma shared a heartfelt note after her cricketer-husband Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket through a statement on social media. The 36-year-old cricketer marked the end of his 14-year career that spanned from 2011 to 2025. The actor in her post gave a shout-out to Kohli for his hard work.

In a lengthy note, she wrote, "They’ll talk about the records and the milestones — but I’ll remember the tears you never showed, the battles no one saw, and the



unwavering love you gave this format of the game. I know how much all this took from you. After every Test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler — and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege. Somehow, I always imagined you’d retire international cricket in whites — But you’ve always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you’ve earned every bit of this goodbye (sic)."

Kohli reacted to the post with several heart-shaped emoticons.
