Kohli exchanges flying kiss with wife Anushka after slamming ton in Nottingham
Nottingham, Aug 21 (IBNS): Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli has once again shared some special moments with wife and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma after slamming his 23rd Test century in the third Test match against England in Nottingham on Monday.
Kohli, who missed his hundred by three runs in the first innings, went on to score 103 when he batted for the final time in Nottingham Test.
After completing his hundred, the skipper, in the midst of his celebration, took his bat and went on to give a flying kiss to Anushka, who was present at Trent Bridge as a spectator.
Eventually, Kohli's performance received high acclaims from several former cricketers.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan has been quoted by BBC as saying, "There are many really great players but he is the stand-out across all the three formats of this era by a country mile."
"He's got the gift to play all around the wicket in every single format."
VVS Laxman tweeted, "We have all gotten so used to Virat Kohli scoring 100’s. Have a feeling he will cherish this one a lot once we win this Test match."
