Virat Kohli Says Anushka Was Shocked And Taken Aback Upon Hearing AB De Villiers’ Retirement From Cricket

Let’s talk about India’s favourite sport, cricket. Last year was truly heartbreaking for the sport as well as its fans as AB De Villiers announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. His announcement left everyone in shock – especially his colleagues. A lot of his teammates and friends took to social media to thank him for his contribution to the sport and wish him the best of luck for his future. Anushka Sharma was one of the many who was shocked by the announcement. Speaking about her reaction to AB De Villiers’ retirement, Virat Kohli said that she was taken aback when she heard the news.

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.
