Virat Kohli’s animated gestures towards his wife Anushka Sharma during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s match against Gujarat Titans on Saturday have become the talk of the town. The former RCB captain’s playful actions, such as pretending to carry an aarti ki thali upon his arrival, were met with enthusiasm and appreciation from the audience.
This was Anushka’s first public appearance since the birth of their son, Akaay. Prior to this, she was seen during her birthday festivities, where she celebrated with Virat and his RCB colleagues in a private gathering.
Kohli’s lighthearted demeanor and deep connection with Anushka were evident in his gestures. The endearing interaction between the couple rapidly spread across social media platforms.
Meanwhile, RCB kept alive their slim playoff hopes in the Indian Premier League with a four-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in a low-scoring thriller. Bengaluru pacers came to the party as Gujarat was put into bat and bowled out for 147 runs in 19.3 overs.
Bengaluru skipper Faf du Plessis then led the way with 64 off 23 balls, as the hosts finished with 152-6 in only 13.4 overs. Kohli scored 42 runs in 27 balls and shared an opening partnership of 92 with du Plessis in 5.5 overs.
RCB’s victory keeps them in contention for a playoff spot, while Gujarat Titans’ hopes of securing a top-two finish have taken a hit.
