After the historic win, Virat Kohli also rushed to make a video call to his wife Anushka Sharma, reports IANS.

Following the match, Virat Kohli admitted that maintaining the intensity on the field day in and day out takes a lot out of him. After receiving "Player of the Match," King Kohli stated, "A week off, is it a good thing or otherwise? To be honest, at 36, it's very good. I don't know about the 23-24 year olds, but for me, it's really, really good. I just need to put my feet up for two days because it takes a lot out of me now to keep putting that kind of effort on the field, and I'm just thankful we have a bit of time off now."

Virat and Anushka tied the knot on December 11, 2017 in Italy.

The duo was blessed with Vamika on January 11, 2021. The couple was tight-lipped about their second pregnancy. On February 15, 2024, they became parents to son Akaay.

Virat scored a 100 in 111 balls, with his knock laced with seven fours.

His runs came at a strike rate of 90.09.

In 299 ODIs, Virat has scored 14,085 runs at an average of 58.20, with 51 centuries and 73 fifties. His best score is 183.

This is Virat's sixth century in ICC ODI events and his first in ICC Champions Trophy. Also, he has tied with Sachin Tendulkar for the most fifty-plus scores in ICC ODI events with 23 such scores.
