England vs India: Virat Kohli kisses wedding ring and dedicates century to wife Anushka Sharma
Indian captain scored his first Test century in England and celebrated in touching style with a tribute to his wife
VIRAT KOHLI dedicated his first Test century in England to his actress wife Anushka Sharma.
The Indian captain reached his ton at Edgbaston with a flashing cut for four before kissing his wedding ring.
There was no mic drop celebration today as he reached under his shirt and kissed the ring he had attached to a chain.
His wife Sharma, one of the highest-paid actresses in India, was watching from the stands in Birmingham.
The power couple tied the knot last December in Mumbai.

Kohli put on a masterclass on day two at Edgbaston with his excellent knock of 149 that kept India in the game.
The tourists were bowled out for 274, a deficit of 13, meaning Kohli scored over half their total runs.
England was the only place where Kohli had failed to make runs in his glittering career.
He averaged just 13.5 during a disastrous tour of England in 2014 – scoring only 134 runs in five Tests.
But Kohli left the field at Edgbaston to a standing ovation, among them his proud wife Sharma.
