Virat Kohli is one of the most popular cricketers of all times and his wife Anushka Sharma is also a famous Bollywood actress-producer so it is not at all surprising if they both make headlines but in the recent past, they both have been creating buzz for some not-so-good reasons.
First, Virat Kohli was involved in a controversy related to the ODI captaincy, then his behavior in the third and final test match was slammed by cricket fans and former cricketers and after that, he surprised everyone by quitting the test captaincy as well. Now, one more controversy is going on as Virushka’s daughter Vamika was captured by a cameraman during the live telecast of the third and final ODI of the 3-match ODI series which India lost by 3-0.
Recently, the former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar created a controversy when he hinted that Virat Kohli is going through tough times due to his marriage with Anushka Sharma and instead of getting married, Virat should have focused on his game. During an interview, Shoaib Akhtar said that Virat Kohli should have focused on the game of cricket for 10-12 years rather than tying the knot because this time won’t come back. He stated that if he had been in Virat’s place, he would not have got hitched but on the contrary, he would have scored runs and enjoyed the game. He adds that he doesn’t mean to say getting married is wrong, he only wants to say that if you are playing cricket for India, you should enjoy cricket more.
Shoaib Akhtar elaborates further by saying that a cricketer has to deal with the pressure of the family and kids and as the responsibility increases, the pressure on the cricketer increases as well which affects his performance. He further states that the career of a cricketer is of 14-15 years and for 5-6 years, he is at the peak of his career. Talking about Virat, Shoaib Akhtar says that Virat has already passed his peak and now he will have to struggle and in his opinion, a cricket captain should get hitched only after taking retirement.
This is not the first time that Anushka Sharma has been blamed for poor performance of Virat Kohli. Soon after this interview, the fans of Virushka came out in support of Anushka Sharma and slammed Shoaib Akhtar for his comments, asking him to stop making comments on someone’s personal life.

I think it's high time people mind their own buisness. You can have an opinion about him as a player, but have NO right to comment on his personal life.
Everyone must know their limits. #ShoaibAkhtar #ViratKholi https://t.co/gIImr7eMfL— Sankrithi (@sank_rang) January 23, 2022
