Becoming a father greatest moment in life: Kohli

TIL Desk Sports/ Shardul Thakur and Washington Sundar’s 123-run partnership in the first innings of the fourth Test against Australia at The Gabba had the fans glued to their television sets, and India skipper Virat Kohli was no exception. Kohli went ahead a step further and watched the match-winning partnership on his mobile.

Ajinkya Rahane had taken over India’s captaincy when Kohli left on paternity leave after the first Test against Australia last year in December. Kohli and wife Anushka Sharma were blessed with a baby girl on January 11. Rahane then led India to a historic series win over Australia last month. Kohli on Thursday said the connection with the team does not go away in any situation whether he is with the team or not.

As the cricketer and his wife Anushka Sharma anxiously waited the arrival of their child, the Indian captain was glued to his phone to track his team’s remarkable turnaround Down Under. “Firstly, I don’t think the two can be compared. Becoming a father has been and will remain the greatest moment in my life, in both our lives. That is something to be experienced to understand what I am saying.
