Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma finally tied the knot in Tuscany and put rest to all the speculations that had been making the rounds over the last few days. The wedding ceremony was a plush affair with only the couple’s close family and friends present at the function. The ceremony, which was a private affair, was held at a heritage resort in Tuscany. As per media reports, their wedding reception will be held in New Delhi on December 21.

While some on Twitter tried to connect the dots by keeping an eye on their travelling plans, others just failed to determine how the events unfolded right from the beginning. The build-up to the wedding was nothing short of extravagant with the couple only inviting a select few to attend the low-key event.
The highly talked-about couple had been dating for quite some time now. Virat Kohli had requested a break from cricket after the Sri Lanka Test series, which fuelled the rumours of his wedding that had already been gaining momentum.
