Indian skipper Virat Kohli amassed more than 150 runs against South Africa in the 2nd Test at Centurion and then kissed his wedding ring after completing the feat. Kohli scored 153 before becoming the last batsman to get out.
India has conceded a lead of 28 runs to South Africa. But it was Kohli’s superhuman effort that brought the visitors back into the game in the 2nd Test. India already lost the Newlands Test and hence South Africa is leading the series by 0-1. That made Virat Kohli’s contribution even more special as he played a substantial innings to lead from the front.
Last month, Virat Kohli tied the knot with Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma in Tuscany, Italy. The destination wedding was kept pretty private as only the close and dear ones were invited to attend the event.
In his celebration, Kohli took off his helmet after bringing up his 150 and then he carefully took the wedding ring out which hung from a chain around his neck. He took it out and kissed it.
He is one of them who never shy away from being vocal about being in a relationship. Here is the video of the celebration and some other congratulatory tweets:

In Virat Kohli 's first 11 test hundred's, 2 scores of 150 + ,next 10 hundred's, all converted to 150 + .The thing about big players, when they score, they make it count.
Important now for the bowlers to bowl with discipline. #SAvIND— VVS Laxman (@VVSLaxman281) January 15, 2018
