Though actresses dating cricketers is not new, Virushka became one of the most talked about couples in recent times.

They first met in 2013 while shooting for a commercial and soon rumours of them being a couple started doing the rounds. They stuck to the "good friends" stance until a year ago. In February 2014, Anushka-Virat were spotted walking hand-in-hand in Auckland where India was playing against New Zealand. Later that year, the actress apparently admitted to dating the young Test captain. Ever since, the duo has been spotted together, holidaying or visiting each other's houses. He even stood up for her when she was blamed for his poor batting performance.

The Delhi lad is yet to delete the post on Instagram as yet.
