Virat Kohli often opens about mental and physical conflicts he has tolerated for years. He has never failed to share the important role of his wife Anushka Sharma, played in his career. Star Indian Batter once talked about how to get away from the game helped them to find their balance again.
In a clear conversation with former cricketer Robin Uthappa, Kohli reflected when he took a break from cricket – a rare stagnation in his otherwise tireless program. During this period, he did not lift the bat for the whole month. This conscious decision allowed him to re -join the game with his passion.
Virat about Anushka’s support
Virat credited Anushka for helping her through the process. “When you come back from such a place, it is easy to go immediately, ‘Ah, everything is very good and this is fine’. That is why I first mention Anushka’s name – because she has seen the challenges of being in this situation. She knows that she has been for so many years. She knows what it is to handle public pressure.
He admitted that without his appearance and honesty, he would have lost himself to ego and frustration. Anushka always acted as if it was her responsibility to tell her the truth.
“There is no molikodaling. Therefore, how he talked to me during that phase, it was something that kept me in the check. If I was left myself to find out, I would have become an egoistic manic. I would have become a snapper, even more cranky.
Virat about Dadma
Kohli also touched how paternity has changed his attitude. His daughter Vamika, he says, has taught him the value of living in the moment.
Both Anushka and Virat welcomed their second child in 2024.
