Anushka Sharma gets worried as ball hits Virat Kohli's helmet at IPL match

Cricketer Virat Kohli was recently struck on the helmet during a match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Though he quickly composed himself and resumed playing, it was his wife Anushka Sharma’s visibly anxious reaction from the stands that has now gone viral on social media.

The actor was in Lucknow to support her husband in the latest match. In one of the viral clips from the match, Sharma looked visibly tensed as the ball hit Kohli’s helmet. Her hands flew to her face with a concerned expression on her face.

A picture of the actor from the stands has gone viral.

There were even pictures and videos of the actor cheering for Kohli from the stands.

Anushka Sharma is frequently seen cheering for her Virat Kohli from the stands during his matches. The couple, who got married in 2017, are parents to two children, a daughter named Vamika and a son named Akaay.

Recently, the couple visited the Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan after the latter announced his retirement from Test cricket after 14 years.

Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bengaluru's hopes of finishing in the top two of the IPL 2025 points table suffered a major setback after they were defeated by SunRisers Hyderabad by 42 runs in Lucknow on Friday, 23 May. RCB were comfortably outplayed with both bat and ball, falling well short of a 232-run target at the Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium in their penultimate league match of the season.

Despite conceding 231 runs, RCB was hopeful of chasing down the target on what was a good batting surface.
