Beside him, as always, was Anushka Sharma. An iconic photograph captured the couple holding the trophy, their smiles reflecting years of effort, dedication, and unwavering belief. "She stood by me through everything," Kohli later shared.

Following Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) historic IPL 2025 victory, Virat Kohli's emotional tribute to his wife, Anushka Sharma, during the post-match interview has resonated widely. The win ended RCB's 18-year quest for the IPL title, and Kohli publicly acknowledged Anushka's unwavering support.

“She’s been coming here and supporting RCB since 2014, so it’s been 11 years for her as well. She’s been there relentlessly — coming to the games, watching the tough ones, watching us just miss out. What your life partner does for you to be able to play, the sacrifices, the commitment, and just backing you through thick and thin — it’s something you can’t really explain in words."

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli first crossed paths in 2013 on the set of a television commercial. They kept their relationship private, eventually marrying in a small ceremony in Italy in 2017. The couple welcomed their daughter, Vamika, in January 2021, and their son, Akaay, in February 2024.
