Virat Kohli played a spectacular innings in the India vs West Indies match and helped India win the first game. His comeback on the field and the way he played have been grabbing headlines since then. However, apart from Virat's winning streak on the field, he also won the hearts of millions of fans as, after the match and presentation, he headed straight to call his wife, actor Anushka Sharma.
The viral clips and photos have taken the internet by storm. He was seen dialling the number and was later seen miffed as, reportedly, Anushka didn't pick up the call.
Nonetheless, Virat kept calling and later texted her, as per the viral photos and social media posts.
Virat's gesture of calling his wife and daughter won hearts, but more than that, netizens are going gaga over Virat carrying an iPhone Air. Suddenly, the internet can't stop raving about Virat not using the Pro version but the Air version.
A user wrote, "Virat Kohli, who is among the richest Indians, uses an iPhone Air. Yes, y'all don't need a yearly upgrade with a three-camera setup for an average colour upgrade."
Another post read, "Virat called his wife Anushka Sharma after the match. After playing a brilliant innings against the West Indies, Virat Kohli immediately called his wife, Anushka Sharma. He was seen talking to his son Akaay and daughter Vamika, showing once again that he is a proud father who always cares deeply for his children."
Virat Kohli's six-hitting display
Virat Kohli made the day a memorable one with his six-hitting display against the West Indies as he added a new record to an already special innings. Kohli smashed nine sixes, which is his highest tally in a single ODI innings, breaking his previous personal best of eight sixes.
What made his innings even more special was the timing of three of those sixes. Kohli hit a maximum to bring up his 50, followed it with another six to complete his century and then finished India's chase with a winning six.
Kohli's previous best for sixes in an ODI innings was eight, which he hit during his 166 against Sri Lanka in 2023. His nine sixes against the West Indies therefore marked a new personal best in the ODI format.
The India star was in complete control during the chase, combining his trademark timing with aggressive strokeplay. The six-hitting added another dimension to his innings and helped India chase down the West Indies' total comfortably.
From 50 to 100 to the winning runs, Kohli's sixes kept arriving at the perfect moments. And with nine maximums overall, the India star walked away with a new personal six-hitting record on a memorable night in Thiruvananthapuram.
