She didn’t focus on records or achievements — instead, she celebrated the quiet strength Kohli showed behind the scenes. “They’ll talk about the records and the milestones — but I’ll remember the tears you never showed, the battles no one saw, and the unwavering love you gave this format of the game. I know how much all this took from you. After every Test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler — and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege.”Along with the message, Anushka also shared a lovely candid photo of the two of them smiling on a cricket field . She added another beautiful line that summed up her pride and love for him, writing: “my love, you’ve earned every bit of this goodbye.”Virat’s announcement about retiring from Test cricket left fans stunned and emotional.

She shared Kohli’s retirement post on her Instagram story and added a playful yet emotional note, “Ab toh England series ko backyard cricket maan ke khel lo (Now just treat the England series like backyard cricket and play).” Her comment reflected the disappointment many feel about not seeing Kohli in big Test matches, especially in iconic series like the one against England.Actor Angad Bedi, a close friend of Kohli, posted a deeply emotional message, filled with memories and love, “Go well, my brother, and thank you for the memories, the tears, the sweat, and the blood you have put in. I wished to see the 269 test cap go from the field… Rona na nikal jaave kithe.” His words captured the heartfelt reaction of many fans who saw Kohli as the spirit of Test cricket in modern times.Aparshakti Khurana also joined in, commenting on Kohli’s post, “I feel happy to be born in an era where we witnessed it inch by inch! Rabbbb Charhdiyaaaan Kalaaan ich rakhey! Always.”A glimpse into life after retirementWhile Kohli hasn’t yet revealed his detailed plans for life after cricket, he has hinted in the past that travel might be a big part of it, especially with Anushka by his side. Speaking at the RCB Innovation Lab Summit a few months ago, he had said: “I actually don’t know what I will be doing post-retirement. Recently, I asked a teammate the same question and got the same reply. Yeah, but maybe a lot of traveling.”It looks like that travel dream has already begun. Their visit to Vrindavan could be the first of many peaceful retreats. This isn’t the first time Virat and Anushka have looked to spirituality during a big transition.
