Virat Kohli is having the best days of his life at the moment. He made history yesterday by becoming the first Indian captain to win the opening Test match of a series in Australia and today, he celebrates his first marriage anniversary.
Indian captain Virat Kohli had tied the knot with Bollywood star Anushka Sharma at a private ceremony in Italy on December 11, 2017. Their wedding was kept a huge suspense till it actually happened so as to keep the paparazzi away as the couple wanted a quiet and peaceful ceremony with just their close ones.
The cricketer-actor duo then threw multiple receptions in India that were attended by the biggest names across disciplines including Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Although the two are currently together in Australia, they left each other very heartfelt messages on Twitter for the special occasion.
Can't believe it's been a year already because it feels like it happened just yesterday. Time has truly flown by. Happy anniversary to my best friend and my soulmate. Mine forever ❤ @AnushkaSharma pic.twitter.com/eKL9wlpU4R

In an interview with Adam Gilchrist, Kohli had spoken about Anushka's contribution in his life and how since getting to know her his horizon has broadened.
"When I met my wife I began to change. I came from a very different background from north India and I had no idea of what happens in any other sphere of society or anyone else's life. Her life was very different and it came with her own challenges and perspective on things.

"It was amazing to just see myself- how much different things were to the way I think. I was not a very practical person before that. But, she has changed me a lot. I've learnt so much from her. That's what it's supposed to be like, you should help each other grow and she has certainly helped me grow."
