As Virat Kohli bettered Sir Vivian Richards' record of fastest to 6000 ODI runs by 5 innings on Nov 9, 2014, he also, in typical Virat-style cleared the air surrounding him and his then rumoured girlfriend Anushka Sharma.

As he reached the milestone, he took off his helmet, kissed his bat, and blew a kiss, in the direction to where Anushka Sharma was seated, who responded with a standing ovation and a slightly blushed but rather composed face. Surely, she didn't see it coming and that's the spontaneity of Virat.

The media went crazy and it made headlines everywhere. That was the beginning of a new phase for Virat Kohli as he made his love life public. And probably, in all of cricket's history, it was a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable moment.
