Kohli said, “I know a lot of talks were going on out there about me. I kissed my ring. You see me standing here because one person made things easy for me and that is Anushka. This century is for him and also for our younger daughter Vamika.

He said, “When there is someone next to you who is talking keeping things in perspective as Anushka has been… I was not desperate when I came back. After six weeks off I was refreshed. I realized how tired I was.”
