Team India skipper Virat Kohli's wife, Anushka Sharma, has often been on the firing lines for receiving special treatment by the cricketing officials.

But, Kohli has expressed his thoughts over those reports and claimed that it's not Anushak's nature to go against the rules.

"So much has been said about her and so much comes out about her. You have to understand that she is someone who has achieved success at a very high level."

"She was a superstar even when we met. When these things come out of protocols not being followed and rules being broken, it is not in her nature to do something like that because she understands my profession and I understand her profession. Either of us doesn't interfere in it," Kohli said during his interview with India Today on November 30.

"The value system that she has and her beliefs and the nature she has, it won't allow her to go against rules and protocols."

"So I don't know why people have wanted to sensationalize stories by taking her name because she's a soft target. We both had been ignoring it for a while," the Indian captain added.

Anushka Sharma had officially posted a statement on her social media accounts last month after former Team India cricketer Farokh Engineer claimed that he saw Indian national selectors serving tea to her during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in the UK.

"When the lies are spoken so much all around, they start becoming truths. So you need to speak up at some stage and that's exactly what happened recently," Virat said while speaking about the controversy.

"She came for 1 World Cup game against Sri Lanka and the family box and the selector box was different, and there was no selector in that box. She came for 1 game with two friends."

"As I said, she is known, she's been successful at a very high level so when people take her name, it gets noticed," he added.

"You want to mention something about the selectors do that, but why join her name with it. We are not people who would go out and start these debates but you have to put the truth out there - the way things actually are and the way they are perceived and accepted are very different."

"So you need to put across what is happening because you are in those situations yourself," he calimed.
