In a post on her Instagram, she shared a picture of her husband holding the trophy and captioned it with a sweet message, writing: "AND ….. I love this man @virat.kohli. So grateful to call you my home - now go have a glass of sparkling water for me to celebrate this !"

Earlier, the Indian actress had made another post on Instagram, in which she shared a few glimpses of Rohit Sharma's men celebrating their historic victory and revealed what her three-year-old daughter, Vamika, was concerned about when she saw her father's team crying over their victory.

She wrote: "Our daughter's biggest concern was if all the players had someone to hug them after she saw them cry on tv….. Yes, My darling, they were hugged by 1.5 billion people.

"What a phenomenal victory and what a legendary achievement!! CHAMPIONS - CONGRATULATIONS!!"

Kohli, who was overwhelmed with emotions over the win, did not wait long to share the victory with his family back home as he was seen talking to his wife and children, Vamika and four-month-old son Akaay, on his phone via video call.
