Anushka gave me the right kind of guidance to move forward: Virat Kohli
Kohli was rightfully adjudged the Player of the Match for his sterling knock against Afghanistan. Speaking at the post-match presentation, the star Indian batter gave his wife Anushka Sharma credit for making him believe in himself again.
"She (Anushka) kept putting things in perspective for me. She has seen the absolute raw side of me through the months that have gone by, which have been very tough, to be honest. She gave me the right kind of guidance to move forward and I came back a much more relaxed person," said Kohli.
