Mumbai: Actress Anushka Sharma has once again demonstrated her unwavering support for her husband, cricketer Virat Kohli, after he announced his retirement from Test cricket.
On social media, Anushka shared a heartfelt post originally written by National Award-winning lyricist Varun Grover, who celebrated the significance of Test cricket and Kohli’s contributions to the format.
Grover’s tribute to Kohli, shared by Anushka, read, “Test Cricket is different from other games because it is a game of narrative. So many variables–four innings, five days, twenty-two specialists, changing weather daily, sometimes changing seasons three times a day, moisture of air, health of pitch, fate written by coin, and changing mental possibilities every moment. Well, every game is synonymous with some aspect of life in itself, but test cricket literally is like a novel–many genres covered in the same ink.”
The post further read, “That’s why only those who had a story to tell succeeded in test cricket. A long story that doesn’t end even after writing wet, dry, country, foreigner on every pitch. Virat Kohli is the biggest character of this novel in the last decade. They not only lived all the juices of this novel but also made it more enriched. There is a lot written on what they gave to the team and India, but they gave the genre of test cricket what few people could give, a sensitive hero who looks beautiful in both defeat and win.”
Grover’s post captured the essence of Test cricket and how Kohli became one of the most influential figures in the format over the past decade.
This tribute comes after Virat Kohli shocked the cricketing world by announcing his retirement from Test cricket on Monday.
