 Close on the heels of Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif's split, the news of another celeb break-up left Tinsel Town shocked. Ever since the news of Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's split became public, gossip mills have been churning out stories around their break-up.

But now there's an all-new angle to the story. Apparently, Virat and Anushka never really broke up, but just took some time off each other. A source informed the Times Of India, "Anushka is the more pragmatic one between them. They never really broke up but merely took some time off each other. There is a lot on Anushka's plate right now. Her next film (Sultan, with Salman Khan) is both physically and mentally exhausting. Their decision of staying apart for a while has actually done them good."

Reportedly, after Virat's brilliant performance in the India vs Australia World T20 match, in which he was awarded the Man of the Match title, Anushka had called him and the two talked all through the night. Interestingly, Virat taking a stand for Anushka after she was trolled on social media also added more fuel to their patch-up story.

He took to Twitter and Instagram and gave a befitting reply to the trolls. The 27-year-old cricketer had written, "Shame on those people who have been having a go at Anushka for the longest time and connecting every negative thing to her. Shame on those people calling themselves educated. Shame on blaming and making fun of her when she has no control over what i do with my sport. If anything she has only motivated and given me more positivity. This was long time coming. Shame on these people that hide and take a dig. And i dont need any respect for this post. Have some compassion and respect her. Think of how your sister or girlfriend or wife would feel if someone trolled them and very conveniently rubbished them in public (sic)."

Reportedly, the two broke up after Anushka turned down Virat's marriage proposal. And some sources also said that Anushka's decision to go ahead with the shoot of Sultan at a point of time when Virat had taken some time off his cricketing schedule to spend time with her didn't go down well with the latter. However, if the reports of their patch-up are true, it will be a treat for their fans.
