BCCI is very strict after Team India's crushing defeat in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Now BCCI has made a rule regarding the families of players. During foreign tours or tournaments of more than 45 days, players' wives can stay with them only for a maximum of 14 days. Whereas on foreign tours of less duration than this, the players can stay with their family members for only 7 days. However, do you know what Virat Kohli did to bring his then girlfriend Anushka Sharma to Australia when he went on Australia tour 10 years ago.

Kohli asked Shastri to invite Anushka to Australia

BCCI has been allowing only their wives to accompany players on foreign tours. However, now BCCI has reduced that also. But during the Australian tour of 2014-15, Virat Kohli had also invited Anushka Sharma to Australia. Let us tell you that both of them were dating each other at that time. In 2014, when the Indian team was on Australia tour, the head coach of the team was Ravi Shastri and it was with his help that this was possible.

Ravi Shastri still has a very good relationship with Virat Kohli even today and even at the time when he was the coach of Team India. Shastri had recently told Fox Cricket, 'When I was the coach in 2015. He (Virat Kohli) was not married. He was dating Anushka Sharma. Virat came and said that only wife is allowed to bring, I can bring my girlfriend here. Virat said that the board is not giving permission. Then I called and then she (Anushka Sharma) joined us.

The rule of bringing girlfriend along was made under Virat's captaincy.

During this Australian tour, Mahendra Singh Dhoni suddenly announced his retirement from Test cricket. He was also the captain of Team India at that time. After this Virat Kohli took command of Team India. It was under his captaincy that it became a rule for the players to bring their girlfriends along. After this, Anushka Sharma was seen with Virat Kohli on many occasions. Later, other players also started taking their girlfriends along.
