The cafe meeting in New Zealand

While speaking in an interview with Mashable India, Rodrigues recalled how she and teammate Smriti Mandhana had approached Kohli for batting advice while both the men’s and women’s teams were staying at the same hotel in New Zealand. However, what started as a short discussion turned into an impromptu cafe hangout. “Virat bhai invited us to the cafe in the hotel and Anushka was also there. For the first half an hour, we only spoke about cricket." He even told Smriti and me, ‘'You both have the power to change women’s cricket and I can see that happening,'' Jemimah revealed.

While Virat is often spotted by fans during his training sessions or casual outings, Anushka has been keeping a low profile. It is also said that her highly awaited project Chakda 'Xpress may be on hold as she prioritizes family life.
