Message for Anushka - Virat Kohli too young to marry, says his mother

Indian cricketer Virat Kohli is not just an eye candy for domestic and international brands, but the Delhi lad has caught the fancy of Bollywood and women cricketers as well.

Now the marriage proposal from vivacious England women's cricketer Danielle Wyatt had taken Twitter by storm.

It seems Virat Kohli's cricketing skills, charms and good looks are winning over many hearts.

However, all the marriage proposals have to wait as 25-year-old Kohli's mother Saroj is of the opinion that he is too young to be thinking about settling down anytime soon.

In a recent interview with MidDay, the cricketer's mom said that it is not the correct age for Kohli to tie the knots.

"It is not the right age for Virat to marry now,” Saroj told the newspaper.

According to her, Virat is still in the early stages of his career and has loads to do in the international circuit. He has to concentrate on his bating first and they cannot think of his marriage for another four to five years.

Cricketers have always made for interesting pairs with Bollywood actresses. When it emerged last year that Team India batsman Virat Kohli was dating actress Anushka Sharma, almost each and every cricket fan in India took notice and every update on the couple slowly became an object of regular gossip columns.

The actress was said to have travelled to New Zealand to meet Kohli and the cricketer himself has travelled to Sri Lanka to catch up with the actress.

While Anushka evaded questions regarding Kohli, a very smitten Danielle Wyatt went ahead and asked Kohli to marry her on a social networking site.

After Wyatt tweeted out " Kholi, Marry Me!!!" several twitteratis replied saying Kohli is already seeing Sharma. However, Wyatt had no intention of backing out. The 22-year-old English spinner very enthusiastically replied, " No, he aint."
