Watch this Anushka Virat video here:

Talking about Virat Kohli, he broke Sachin Tendulkar's record of having the most ODI centuries. It was special for Kohli as Anushka Sharma and Sachin were both present to watch him make history. On the other hand, Shami's knock was special too. He has hauled 5 wickets lots of times. This 7 wickets helped India get back its hold in the game and make a place in the Finals. He won the Man of the Match award during the post-match presentation ceremony.
