As the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings walked out to play the final of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the entire crowd was brimming with anticipation. Many celebrities showed up for the match as well, including Preity Zinta (owner of Punjab Kings). Anushka Sharma was seen in the stands yet again, supporting her husband Virat Kohli and RCB, who were looking to win their first IPL title in the franchise’s history. However, the actor looked disappointed after Virat got out before scoring a half century.
Anushka’s reaction to Virat being sent to the pavilion is going viral. Virat scored 43 runs in 35 balls, and his wicket fell at a crucial point in the game. In the photos, Anushka is seen sitting with her head in her hand. And in another click, she is seen looking sad as she watches her husband return from the field.

Anushka Sharma is often seen supporting Virat Kohli from the stands. Recently, the cricketer had announced his retirement from the Test cricket format. After his announcement, Anushka had taken to Instagram to pen an emotional note for her husband. In the note, she mentioned the hard work, sweat, and dedication that the cricketer has given to the format, which she has been witness to.
She had written, “They’ll talk about the records and the milestones — but I’ll remember the tears you never showed, the battles no one saw, and the unwavering love you gave this format of the game. I know how much all this took from you. After every Test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler — and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege. Somehow, I always imagined you’d retire international cricket in whites — But you’ve always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you’ve earned every bit of this goodbye ❤️.”
In the 18 years of IPL, Royal Challengers Bangalore has never managed to win the coveted trophy, and Virat Kohli has been a part of the franchise from the very start. Winning this season would be extra special, as the tournament is in its 18th year and Kohli’s jersey number is also the number 18.
