'From your first practice to your incredible success, you've always made me proud @virat.kohli. Keep going strong beta,' Sharma wrote.

Virat's sister Bhawna Kohli Dhingra acknowledged the crucial role Sharma played in shaping her brother's career. 'Sir this picture marks the genuine appreciation... You were the one who saw in him at a time when no one saw it,' Bhawna recalled.
