A Funny Mix-Up: Politician Confuses Virat Kohli's Name

In a lighthearted moment, a politician in Nagaland, India, accidentally referred to cricket star Virat Kohli as "Anushka Sharma's husband" instead of using his name. Temjen Imna Along, a minister in the Nagaland government, was asked about his favorite current cricketer during an event. He quickly named Sachin Tendulkar as his all-time favorite but stumbled when asked about a modern player. Instead of saying Virat Kohli, he humorously asked, "What is the name of Anushka Sharma's husband? " This slip-up made the audience laugh, and the minister later corrected himself. The minister explained that he remembered Anushka Sharma because she loves Virat Kohli. This funny moment quickly spread on social media, with fans enjoying the lightheartedness and celebrating one of India's most beloved couples. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma got married in 2017 and have two children, Vamika and Akaay. Recently, they were seen enjoying a family outing in London, sparking rumors that they might move there permanently. Virat Kohli has been focusing on One Day International (ODI) cricket after retiring from T20 and Test cricket. He recently won the IPL 2025 final with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and has since been spending quality time with his family in London. Kohli shared that this break has allowed him to recharge and enjoy time with his kids, something he hasn't been able to do much in recent years.
