India’s power couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have yet again grabbed the attention of social media. The High Commision of India in London, UK, hosted the Indian team on Tuesday ahead of the second Test match against England at the Lord’s.

However, along with skipper Virat Kohli, wife Anushka Sharma was also spotted in attendance at the meet. It is also unclear how the Sui Dhaaga actress is traveling with Kohli as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had prohibited the wives and girlfriends of the team players from being with their respective partners until the end of the third Test match.

That's their problem. Anyway what I'm saying is, if you're the vice captain of your team, you have to man up & take some responsibility while batting. Not just leave everything on Kohli. Since 2016 he hasn't performed according to his standards.

Sir, The problem here is that bcci has banned family members after the test series started. Why special privileges to someone?
