Anushka Sharma’s reaction to Virat Kohli narrowly escaping a run-out became a sensation on social media.
Anushka Sharma reacted during an intense moment in a cricket match where Kohli survived a run-out at the beginning of his innings.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) secured their third consecutive victory in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL), defeating the Gujarat Titans, the previous year’s finalists.
RCB started with a strong 92-run opening partnership between Faf du Plessis and captain Virat Kohli, targeting a score of 148 runs. However, RCB later experienced a sudden collapse, dropping from 92/0 to 117/6.
Despite the setback, Kohli’s resilience kept RCB competitive, with Dinesh Karthik and Swapnil Singh clinching the win. The pivotal moment was Kohli’s near run-out, sparked by a quick fielding play from Gujarat Titans’ David Miller, who nearly had Kohli out on the first pitch.
Captured in the stands, Anushka Sharma’s tense reaction underscored the dramatic play, amplifying the moment’s viral spread online.
Though RCB triumphed comfortably, team captain Faf du Plessis acknowledged the tense moments following the loss of several middle-order wickets.
