Kohli soon responded to his wife’s birthday wish, dropping a comment on her post. “You are my strength. You are my guiding force. Grateful to god everyday for us being together my love. I love you,” he wrote.

This is his first birthday after becoming a father. The couple welcomed their daughter on January 11.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma got married in Italy in 2017.  In one of the most-awaited weddings in tinsel town, the power couiple was married in a private ceremony, attended by close family members and friends, at a resort in Tuscany.

The cricketer and the Bollywood actor, endearingly called by fans as “Virushka”, are one of the most closely-tracked celebrity couples in India.

It has been reported that online rape threats directed at Kohli's nine-month-old daughter are being issued since the team's defeat in the India-Pakistan cricket match in the ongoing T20 World Cup, the women’s body said.
