New Delhi: India batter Virat Kohli was felicitated by the BCCI on Friday morning, ahead of his 100th Test match in his international career.
Kohli has included himself in the list of Indian cricketers to complete a century of Tests matches in their careers, which also includes master blaster Sachin Tendulkar who holds an all-time record of playing 200 Test matches.
On the special occasion, Kohli was accompanied by his wife and Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma on the field as he received the cap.
The 33-year-old was presented with a special cap by legendary former cricketer and India’s head coach Rahul Dravid.
However, cricket fans on social media were divided on Anushka’s presence on the field during the felicitation ceremony.
Here’s what Netizens have to say:
While some were in awe of the sweet moments shared by the couple on the field, many questioned BCCI if it was even allowed as per rules while also contesting into a meme fest as soon as the BCCI shared the video from their official handle.

I won’t question why Anushka is there but I will question why Anushka is on the ground? She should be in stands. Most family members join the players but they never encroach the playing area before the beginning of the match
