Ravi Shastri Reveals When He Was Informed About Virat Kohli-Anushka Sharma Wedding

Not a single cricketer was seen in Italy on Monday (December 11) when Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma tied the knot in a lavish ceremony.

While it could be understood that Kohli’s teammates were busy playing in the ongoing One-Day International series against Sri Lanka, it was quite baffling to see not even the former Indian cricketers or other players who were not a part of the squad for the series in the wedding.

In fact, the way the marriage was kept under the covers by Kohli and Anushka to such an extent that even Team India head coach Ravi Shastri came to know about it just ten days before the ceremony in Italy.

The pictures and the videos of the lavish ceremony pretty much suggest it was well planned. Well, it seems Anushka and Kohli were looking to avoid all the hype, and that appears the best reason as to why even someone as close as Shastri knew about the wedding only ten days ago.

“About ten days ago. I have sent him a message so we will catch up when he is back,” Shastri told News 18.

Shastri was further asked whether he had talked to his captain after the wedding, to which he said:

“No, I haven’t. I have messaged him a couple of times to congratulate him and Anushka. I mean they have been going around for a while so ya very happy for him.”

Shastri further said it is good for Kohli and Anushka that they have settled down and stated the couple should now be left alone to enjoy their life.

“It’s been hectic, but he is used to it. He has performed, he has captured the imagination of anyone, and everyone who watches cricket not just in India but internationally and Anushka in her own right has been very successful in what she does so you know there is going to be paparazzi wherever they go. Now it’s all settled so good for them. Let them enjoy their life,” Shastri said.
