Was this a "tongue in cheek" comment; a slip of the tongue or then a shrewd; calculated and contrived move to shorn Virat Kohli of some of his newly acquired sheen and bravado.........
Former Australian opener Michael Slater who has been donning a commentator's hat for the best part of the last decade or so "inadvertently" referred to up and coming Hindi film actress Ms. Anushka Sharma as "present" Indian skipper Virat Kohli's better half during the course of a commentary stint on the final day of the Melbourne boxing day test match between the two teams........
A timely whisper in his ears by one of channel nine's producers saw a much chastened and contrite Slater rushing to make amends for his faux pas by attributing the same to a "slip of the tongue" and put the record straight by thereafter referring to Ms. Sharma as the Indian skipper's (what with Dhoni's ignonimous departure) fiancee and "future" wife.........
As for the "deeply in love" and "mad about each other" couple; Mr. Slater's gaffe was best brushed off with a bashful smile and the utter contempt and disdain the uncalled for gaffe deserved.........
All's well that ends well in Virat and Anushka's land of romantic dreams and lovey dovey dawns and evenings and the dapper and dashing couple couldn't simply be bothered to issue a rejoinder or clarification about the present state of their much discussed; disseminated and debated relationship; notwithstanding the inconsequential Michael Slater's of this world........
