Team India stalwart Virat Kohli recently made his appearance at the ongoing Wimbledon 2025. The cricketer was seen sitting in the stands alongside his wife and actress Anushka Sharma.
Kohli took to his official social media handle by sharing a story, which read, “What a match. It was business as usual for the gladiator”. Taking to Instagram:
Reacting to Kohli`s story, Djokovic also reshared it on his official social media handle by saying, “Thank you for supporting”.
Meanwhile, in the match between Novak Djokovic and Alex De Minaur, the seven-time champion secured his berth in the final eight with a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory in a contest that lasted for three hours and nineteen minutes.
Last year, De Minaur had to withdraw before his quarter-final clash against Djokovic at SW19 due to a hip injury he had sustained in his fourth-round win against Arthur Fils.
De Minaur had dropped just one set en route to the Round of 16, but his run ended on a frustrating note. He steamrolled past Djokovic in the opening set, but the 26-year-old couldn`t convert the break-point opportunities to turn around his fate. The limited errors from Djokovic kept things in his favour in the second and third sets.
In the fourth set, he rallied from 1-4 to earn a spot in the quarter-finals.
After sealing his 101st victory, the 24-time Grand Slam champion is three victories away from a record-extending 25th title. If Djokovic wins Wimbledon, the 38-year-old will go level with Roger Federer`s tally of eight titles on the grass-court major.
Previously, Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket before the start of the five-match series against England. Earlier, the veteran also drew curtains on his T20I format after Team India`s famous T20 World Cup 2025 triumph. He will continue to represent India in One-Day International (ODIs) matches.
Along with him, Rohit Sharma, too, announced his retirement from Test cricket and T20Is as well. Over the years, the duo has been known to be India`s batting mainstay. Following the retirement of Rohit, Team India`s think tank has now appointed Shubman Gill as their new skipper in the longest format of the game.
