Delhi: Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the Indian Test team set new standards, especially when the team toured SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia). More competitive performance was expected from the Indian team in difficult conditions. Under the leadership of Kohli, India won the Test series in Australia for the first time in 2018-19, but the journey before that was not easy. In 2018, India had to face defeat 1-4 in England.

‘Virat was crying’
During that time, actor Varun Dhawan talked about Virat Kohli’s mental condition, which he came to know from Virat’s wife and actress Anushka Sharma. On Ranveer Allahabadia’s podcast, Varun told, “Anushka shared some things with me about what she endured in Virat’s life when he was not in good form. I think it was the Nottingham test. Anushka told that she had not gone to watch the match that day. When she came back, she did not know where Virat was. She started looking for him and saw that he was lying on the bed and crying.”
‘He was taking all the blame on himself’
However, Varun was a little confused about the match because it was played at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. India had won that match. But the disappointment of the remaining defeat still remained. Varun said, “He took all the responsibility on himself, as if it was his fault. Whereas on the same day he was also the batsman who scored the most runs. He was the captain of the team.” The actor was probably talking about the Edgbaston-Birmingham Test match, in which Virat had scored 149 and 51 runs. Apart from him, no batsman could even reach 30 runs and the team had to face defeat.
