Mohali: Former India captain Virat Kohli has reached a milestone in his career in the first match of the India-Sri Lanka series in Mohali. Kohli completed 100 Test appearances in the first Test once morest Sri Lanka. The BCCI honored Kohli with the 100th Test cap just before the match. The former captain was presented with the cap by India coach Rahul Dravid.
Bollywood actress and Kohli’s wife Anushka Sharma accompanied Kohli and the Indian team on the occasion. Fans are now discussing how Anushka got to the ground at this time. Fans are also asking in tweets if this is illegal.
I won’t question why Anushka is there but I will question why Anushka is on the ground? She should be in stands. Most family members join the players but they never encroach the playing area before the beginning of the match— Saurabh Srivastava (@saurabhashu44) March 4, 2022
Fans also tweeted why only Anushka was allowed to come down to the ground while Kohli’s brother and other family members and former coaches were on the stand. But fans have also come out in support of Kohli and Anushka. Supporters of Kohli and Anushka point out that Ishant Sharma’s wife was on the ground when he finished the 100th Test.
