Virat Kohli said he remembered Anushka Sharma immediately reacting to AB De Villiers’ voice note, saying ‘what’ and ‘don’t tell me’. He further added, “It is very strange. I clearly remember when he decided to finally call it a day. He sent me a voice note. And I still remember we were coming back from the World Cup and were driving. I read the voice note, Anushka was with me and I just looked at her. She said ‘what’ and I showed her the voice note. After seeing it the first thing she told me was ‘Don’t tell me’. I could sense this from last (the) IPL.”

Honestly, I’m not surprised by her reaction. I mean, the man has had quite a career and his contribution to the sport has been immense, also the fact they’ve been such close friends. It is always heartbreaking to watch a sportsman walk away from the sport that has given him/her happiness.
