Former captain of the Indian team and one of the best batsmen in the world, Virat Kohli has faced immense pressure due to his fluctuating form. Recently, actor Varun Dhawan revealed an emotional moment shared by Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma. During the 2018 India-England series, after India’s loss at the Nottingham Test, Kohli was seen in a distressed state.

Anushka mentioned that when she returned to their room, Kohli was lying down and crying, taking the blame for the team’s defeat, despite being the highest scorer that day. Varun Dhawan shared this emotional insight on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, highlighting Kohli’s intense mental struggles. He said:

Virat, I mean, everything he’s been through, the times he’s not been in good form, some insights that Anushka shared with me, about his mindset. I think it was a Nottingham Test, where India had lost, and she said she didn’t attend that game that day. She came back, she didn’t know where Virat was, and she came to the room and saw him lying down, literally crying. He took the whole thing on himself… How he took the whole thing on himself like I failed when he was still the highest scorer that day. He was the captain of the side.

Despite such moments, Kohli’s resilience is well-known, and he has consistently bounced back from tough times. Currently, Kohli is preparing for the fourth Test in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, which will begin on December 26.
