The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli has had the best foreign tour of the outgoing year in Australia – the third of the year. After finishing the second best in South Africa where India lost 1-2 and England where they were outplayed 1-4, India are now leading 2-1 against Australia Down Under after winning the third Test in Melbourne by 137 runs on Sunday. The New Year could see a historic first as Team India is on the verge of winning India’s first-ever Test series in Australia in the history of a 71-year-old rivalry.
Kohli had a memorable first anniversary of his marriage with his wife Anushka Sharma on December 11 as it came just after India won the first Test in Adelaide by 31 runs. And now, after winning the crucial third Test in Melbourne, he was found sharing a light moment with wife Anushka.

India will be taking on Australia in the final Test match in Sydney in the final Test starting January 3. The Indian skipper, who is one of the two centurions the series has seen apart from Cheteshwar Pujara, tweeted a photo of him with Anushka on Sunday. Here is Virat’s tweet:

While Kohli completed a decade in international cricket in 2008, Anushka too reached a milestone earlier in December when her first film ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ turned 10. Her latest film ‘Zero’ with Shah Rukh Khan also got released this month.
Anushka had taken time out of her busy schedule for promoting her latest film to go to Australia and spend time with her husband on their first marriage anniversary. Kohli has not been in as superhuman form as he was in South Africa or England in this tour Down Under and faced criticism over his on-field gestures in Perth but the Indian skipper became the only second after Bishan Singh Bedi to lead India to two Test victories in Australia in one series.
