During a recent chat show, Virat Kohli described how Anushka Sharma plays a big part in him being what he is. Anushka has taught me a lot over the last four years including how to be poised and how to utilise my position. She motivated me during my difficult phase when I wasn't in the best form. And later, I ended up scoring runs. So it was a special thing for both of us, Kohli said. (Photo: Deccan Chronicle / Viral Bhayani)

"Luckily I have never tried to change myself over the years. But the flip has been because of her. That period in England in 2014. Anushka was there in my life, she understood what I was going through so she kept me motivated. said Kohli. (Photo: Deccan Chronicle / Viral Bhayani)

While launching the Indian Sports Honours, along with Sanjeev Goenka and Pullela Gopichand, Kohli had explained why he decided to launch such awards. "India has made rapid strides as a sporting nation. The days of being a one-sport country are behind us. The time is just right to introduce an institution that will recognise and reward our top sporting achievers and put the spotlight on those who are expected to do the country proud in the years to come," Kohli had said.
