While the IPL 2025 season heats up with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) taking on Gujarat Titans last night, all eyes were on Virat Kohli – not just for his blazing 78 off 45 balls but for a heart-melting moment off the field. Yesterday marked 10 years since Virat and his wife Anushka Sharma, first made their relationship official, and the couple celebrated in style, leaving fans swooning!
The story started back in 2013 when Virat, then India’s rising cricket star, met Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma during a shampoo ad shoot. Sparks flew, and by March 22, 2015, they confirmed their romance with a cozy public appearance at a Mumbai event. Fast forward to today, and the power couple – married since December 11, 2017 – is still going strong, raising their adorable daughter, Vamika (born January 11, 2021), and welcoming their son, Akaay, on February 15, 2024.
Last night, after RCB’s 6-wicket win, Anushka was spotted in the stands cheering louder than ever, holding a handmade “10 Years of Us” sign with Vamika by her side. Virat blew a flying kiss from the pitch, and the crowd lost it! Later, the couple shared a sweet Instagram post: a throwback pic from their dating days next to a recent family snap, captioned, “From ads to forever – 10 years of love, laughter, and chasing dreams together.”
Fans flooded social media with love. “Virat’s records are insane, but his love story with Anushka is the real century!” one X user posted. Another wrote, “10 years, 2 kids, and still the cutest couple – goals!” The buzz even overshadowed Virat’s match-winning knock, which pushed his IPL 2025 tally to 245 runs in 4 games so far.
Speaking of records, Virat’s no slouch on the field. He’s still the IPL’s all-time leading run-scorer, now sitting at 8,123 runs (as of this fictional 2025 moment, adding to his real 7,263 runs till IPL 2023). His 50th ODI hundred in the 2023 World Cup semi-final made him the world record holder for most ODI tons, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar. And in T20Is, he’s got 4,037 runs – the most by any batter ever. But ask Virat, and he’ll say his biggest win is Anushka. “She’s my rock,” he said in a post-match chat last night. “10 years with her beats any trophy.”
Anushka, a Bollywood icon herself, has been a constant at Virat’s games since they tied the knot in a dreamy Tuscany wedding. She took a break from acting after Zero (2018) to focus on family and her production house, but rumors are swirling about a 2025 comeback film. For now, she’s loving life as “Vamika’s mom and Virat’s cheerleader,” as she jokingly calls herself.
The couple’s journey hasn’t been without hiccups – from early breakup rumors to Virat’s form dips – but they’ve always bounced back stronger. Last night’s celebration wasn’t just about cricket or glamour; it was a reminder of a love story that’s as unbreakable as Virat’s cover drive. Here’s to 10 more years of “Virushka” magic!
