7 Times Anushka penned beautiful notes for Virat

In January 2022, after Virat stepped down as the Test captain of Team India, Anushka shared a long, emotional letter reflecting on his journey since 2014. It was a powerful reminder of the emotional toll leadership can take. “I remember the day in 2014 when you told me that you have been made the captain as MS had decided to retire from test cricket. I remember MS, you & l having a chat later that day & him joking about how quickly your beard will start turning grey. We all had a good laugh about it...”

She went on to share, “You held on to nothing with greed, not even this position & I know that. Because when one holds on to something so tightly they limit themselves & you, my love, are limitless. Our daughter will see the learning of these 7 years in the father that you are to her.”
