‘Anushka Sharma is…’: Virat fans get emotional after RCB wins

'Anushka Sharma is our lucky charm': Virat Kohli fans get emotional after RCB clinches second IPL title victory

Once trolled for Virat Kohli’s bad days, Anushka Sharma is now being celebrated as RCB’s lucky charm. RCB beat Gujarat Titans in a one-sided final in Ahmedabad, with Virat top-scoring and winning Player of the Match. Fans flooded social media with love for Anushka after the victory.

In a poetic turnaround that has taken social media by storm, Anushka Sharma is being universally celebrated by cricket fans as the ultimate “lucky charm” for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) following their historic, back-to-back IPL championship victory. Defeating the Gujarat Titans in a one-sided final at Ahmedabad, RCB secured their second consecutive trophy under the stellar guidance of Virat Kohli, who top-scored in the match to claim the Player of the Match honors. The emotional victory marks a massive shift in public narrative for the power couple; after years of facing unwarranted online trolling whenever Kohli had a rare bad day on the pitch, Anushka’s joyful presence in the stands is now being credited by millions of fans as the team’s winning good luck charm.

Virat Kohli shines in the final, blows flying kisses to Anushka Sharma

Yesterday, RCB easily beat the Gujarat Titans in the final played in Ahmedabad. Virat Kohli, 37, scored the most runs in the match and won the Player of the Match award. When he hit the winning shot, he blew flying kisses to Anushka in the stands. Anushka jumped in happiness and blew kisses back at him. The two then came onto the pitch and celebrated with their teammates and families. RCB has now won the IPL title two times in a row, and Virat has been their best batsman in both seasons.

Fans pour love on Anushka Sharma after RCB’s win

As photos of Anushka’s joyful celebration flooded social media, fans of RCB and Virat could not stop praising her. Many called her the team’s lucky charm and credited her presence for the win. “Whenever Our lucky Charm Anushka Sharma in the Stands, it’s Over for all the teams Many Congratulations to RCB for winning back-to-back IPL trophy,” wrote one user on Twitter.

How did Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s love story begin?

In 2018, the couple got married at Lake Como in Italy in a private ceremony with just family and close friends. Since the pandemic, the two have been living in the UK, where they are raising their two children together.

Anushka Sharma’s acting career

On the work front, Anushka was last seen on screen in a small cameo in her production ‘Qala’ in 2022. Before that, her last full acting role was in the 2018 film ‘Zero’. After the pandemic, she shot ‘Chakda Xpress’, a biopic based on the life of cricketer Jhulan Goswami. However, after filming finished in 2022, the movie got stuck and has not moved forward since. There has been no update on when it will release. Go to Source
