India's cricket superstar Virat Kohli and his wife, Anushka Sharma, were spotted strolling in Melbourne city; and a video of the moment captured by a fan has gone viral on social media.

Batting legend Kohli is currently on the tour of Australia as part of the Indian team, as action resumes on the field with the fourth Test beginning on Boxing Day (December 26) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The duo also visited a cafe-cum-restaurant in the Australian city. Expressing gratitude to 'Virushka', the eatery posted on social media how the Indian cricketer personally thanked the chefs in the kitchen.

They also revealed that they were initially uncertain of opening the cafe on a public holiday but were pleasantly surprised when Kohli and Anushka walked in.

“This morning, while we were still debating whether to keep our cafe open on a public holiday, little did we know we were about to have the surreal experience of serving King @virat.kohli @anushkasharma, and the family at our little cafe,” the cafe said on Instagram.


“Virat Sir was so kind to step into our kitchen, thank chefs and let us take pictures with him,” the post further added. The duo were also captured while walking in the streets in Melbourne. However, unlike fans in India, nobody bunged into the duo for selfies, photos and autographs.

Anushka has accompanied her husband on the tour and was present in the stands when Kohli ended his long wait for a Test hundred with a century (100 not out) in the first Test of the series in Perth.

After his hundred, Kohli credited Anushka's constant support to help him tide over tough times.

"The fact that she is here makes it even more special for me," Kohli had said. "Yeah, Anushka has been right by my side through thick and thin. So she knows everything that goes on behind the scenes, what goes on in the head when you don’t play as well or make a few mistakes."

He added: "I just want to contribute to the team’s cause; I am not a guy who wants to hang around just for the sake of it."



Besides his hundred in the second innings of the Perth Test, Kohli has aggregated only 26 runs in his other four innings in the series and will look to play another big innings in the Melbourne Test.

The five-Test Border Gavaskar Trophy is locked at 1-1, after India won by 295 runs in Perth and Australia came back to level things up with a 10-wicket victory in Adelaide.

The third Test in Brisbane ended in a draw.
