Indian cricketer Virat Kohli on Monday, announced retirement from Test cricket. Reacting to it, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, penned a heartfelt and an emotional note for her husband showing support to his decision and says, "you've always followed your heart."

Anushka Sharma took to her Instagram, and posted a photo with Virat Kohli. She penned the note, saying,"They’ll talk about the records and the milestones — but I’ll remember the tears you never showed, the battles no one saw, and the unwavering love you gave this format of the game. I know how much all this took from you. After every Test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler — and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege."

"Somehow, I always imagined you’d retire from international cricket in whites — But you’ve always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you’ve earned every bit of this goodbye," she added.
