Virat Kohli has praised his wife Anushka Sharma for her 'massive sacrifices' as a mother, India Today reported.

The cricketer during his interview in the RCB podcast with Danish Sait called Anushka an inspiration for him. He said: "The way things have been in the past two years, we have had our child, and, as a mother, the sacrifices that she made have been massive."

He further said: "Looking at her, I realized whatever problems I had were nothing. As far as expectations are concerned, as long as your family loves you for who you are, you don’t expect much because that is the basic requirement."

"When you look for inspiration, you start from home and, obviously, Anushka has been a big inspiration for me," the cricketer shared.

"My life had a completely different perspective. When you fall in love with a person, you start processing those changes within you as well. Her outlook towards life was different and it urged me to change for the better and become more accepting of things," Virat added.

Virat and Anushka tied the knot almost five years ago and they have a little daughter named Vamika.

After her maternity break, Anushka is gearing up to make her comeback soon with the film Chakda Xpress.
