Anushka Sharma congratulated her husband Virat Kohli on Instagram just moments after he scored a century in the Asia Cup match between India and Pakistan on Monday, September 11. She published a picture on her television screen showing Virat jubilant. She wrote, "Super knock, super guy (clap and red heart emojis)!!" as the caption.
India's batting talisman Virat Kohli on Monday created a record by becoming the fastest to reach 13,000 runs in the ODI format. Kohli achieved the milestone during the Asia Cup Super 4 clash against arch-rival Pakistan at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Monday.
He broke a long-standing Sachin Tendulkar record during a brilliant ODI knock against Pakistan. Kohli is the fifth player to reach the landmark in men's ODIs.
