The Men in Blue landed in Auckland few hours back for their limited over series against the Black Caps. Although it was normal to see players getting out of the airport, what caught eyes was the arrival of Anushka Sharma, who has been travelling with the team since last two Test matches against Australia. Virat Kohli and Anushka received warm welcome from the fans upon their arrival. To note, Anushka is the only player’s wife currently travelling with the team.

कप्तान साहब और उनकी बेगम ने इतने बैग्स ले रखें हैं कि आधा होटल का कमरा तो सामना से ही भर जाता होगा।
वैसे bcci को अब अनुष्का को आधिकारिक रूप से टीम की 12वॉ खिलाड़ी घोषित कर देना चाहिये कोई हो न हो अनुष्का जरूर होती है टीम के साथ हर दौरे पर।— himanshu dixit (@dixit_nanu) January 20, 2019
