Virat Kohli wished his followers a happy new year on Monday with a pic of him and wife and Bollywood star Anushka Sharma. “Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New year. Love and light to all,” said the Indian captain. Kohli and Anushka are currently in South Africa as part of India’s touring party. Starting on January 5, Kohli leads India in their tour of South Africa.

Kohli has been out and about with his teammates and their families in Cape Town, where the first Test will be played. He had said in the press conference before India’s departure for South Africa that the players would be relishing the chance to walk around freely in the country, something they haven’t been able to do for a long time now because of the extended run of series at home.

Kohli had sat out the ODI and T20I series against Sri Lanka during which he tied the knot with Anushka Sharma. The wedding ceremony itself was conducted in Italy among close family and friends. They then had two receptions, first in New Delhi and then in Mumbai, and they were attended by the who’s who of Bollywood and cricket worlds.
