The PK actress wrote a heartwarming message along with the picture, saying, "They’ll talk about the records and the milestones — but I’ll remember the tears you never showed, the battles no one saw, and the unwavering love you gave this format of the game."

She went on to wrote, "I know how much all this took from you. After every Test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler — and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege."

However, acknowledging that Virat has always followed his heart in making decisions, she expresses her love and admiration that he truly deserves this farewell.
