Indian skipper, Virat Kohli invokes respect from all quarters of his fan following and critics owing to his perennial hunger for runs and victory. His intent has not changed an inch as he gets ready to take on team South Africa in January 2018. The two world-class teams are all set to battle it out in 3 Test matches, 6 ODIs and 3 T20Is starting January 5, 2018.

On a more personal front, Kohli got hitched to the talented Hindi film actor, Anushka Sharma earlier this month in a dream wedding at Tuscany, Italy. The couple has had the fans gushing ever since over their picture-perfect wedding photos and outfits. Subsequently, the power couple hosted two receptions at New Delhi and Mumbai respectively for their family, friends and colleagues.

Virat Kohli as run-hungry as ever

Speaking at the press conference ahead of his departure for South Africa, the Indian skipper said, “This was a special moment (marriage) but was also training for South Africa in the last three weeks. You need to play cricket for long period of time to win abroad. The hunger this time is the same. We want to do what we couldn’t the last time around.”

Indian head coach, Ravi Shastri has already stated categorically that the next 18 months will be crucial in shaping the course of Indian cricket and its future position, primarily because it will involve a lot of Cricket on foreign soil.

Tuesday saw Kohli and Sharma host a star-studded reception night at the opulent Astor Ballroom of the St. Regis in Lower Parel, Mumbai. The event saw the whos-who of the sports world and the Hindi film industry, including the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Sunil Chhetri, Saina Nehwal, Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and many other celebrities, gather to congratulate the lovely couple.

The lovebirds are expected to travel together to South Africa, where the Indian captain will prepare for the upcoming series and Sharma will ring in the New Year with him.
