“ Yes he requested but we are not going to take any decision soon, we have said we will leave it to the new office bearers. The policy will not change now,” a source mentioned. During England’s tour, Virat was criticised to some extent when Anushka Sharma, his better-half, appeared in the picture of the Indian team at the High Commission event in London.

The photograph didn’t include the spouses of the other players and the same agitated the supporters. Virat is currently playing in India’s two-match Test series against the Windies, which the home team is leading 1-0 after their innings and 272-run victory at SCA Stadium in Rajkot. From the personal front, he had a decent match, both as the captain and a batsman.
