Virat Kohli was spotted receiving wife Anushka Sharma at the Mumbai airport early Sunday morning. According to reports, Anushka returned to Mumbai after shooting for her film, Sui Dhaaga, in Bhopal.

After conquering South Africa, Kohli returned home to India and has been a busy man. Kohli is currently taking a break from cricket after his record-breaking sojourn in South Africa where he smashed 871 runs across the three formats. That is the most amount of runs scored by an Indian captain on an away tour.

On Thursday, Kohli attended the special screening of Anushka Sharma-starrer thriller Pari with his wife's family in Mumbai. Pari will hit the theatres on Friday.

The star couple tied the knot in Tuscany, Italy, in December in an intimate ceremony. After their wedding, the couple took off to Finland for their honeymoon where they spent their nights trying to watch the Northern Lights.

Anushka then accompanied Kohli on the tour to South Africa where where Team India played 3 Tests, 6 ODIs & 3 T20Is in January and February.

In South Africa, Kohli led from the front as India won the ODI series 5-1 and T20I series 2-1. In the six ODIs, he scored a record-breaking 558 runs including three hundreds. He was also the leading scorer in the three-Test series which India lost 1-2.

Kohli also credited his wife Anushka for keeping him motivated throughout the tour which has been nothing less than a roller-coaster ride.

"People who contribute off the field they deserve a lot of credit as well. My wife (Anushka Sharma) who keeps me motivated deserves a lot of credit. She's been criticized a lot in the past. But she's one person who's kept me going throughout the tour," said Kohli after India clinched the ODI series vs South Africa 5-1.

Kohli was recently in Goa to cheer his team from the stands as his co-owned team FC Goa thrashed Atletico de Kolkata 5-1 in an Indian Super League encounter on earlier this week.

FC Goa, which is co-owned by Kohli and the Goan Football Club Pvt Ltd, enhanced their chances of a playoffs berth by moving to fourth position in the points table of the ISL thanks to their comfortable win.

He has been rested for the T20I tri-series in Sri Lanka this month. The run-machine will next be seen in action for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League.
