Virat Kohli’s animated gesture towards wife Anushka Sharma during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s victory over Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024 has gone viral on social media. It was the first public appearance for the Bollywood actress since the birth of their second child Akaay and Kohli’s gesture left the crowd in a frenzy. Kohli made multiple gestures towards Anushka during and after the match with the videos sparking massive interest among cricket fans all over the social media. It was an important win for RCB as they kept their IPL 2024 playoff dreams alive with Kohli played a crucial role in the result.
“We’ve been really good in the last few games, with both bat and ball. We’ve been unbelievable in the field as well. The wicket was a bit different, there was a bit more bounce. Wanted to make sure we take that information from the pitch and give it to the bowlers.”
“Yes there was a dropped catch but it’s the effort that we look for and that was there throughout. The games we’ve played here have all been high-scoring, anything around 180-190 would’ve been par. Was important we didn’t look at the scoreboard when we went out to bat and try and play the way we play.”
“Was a bit nervous. Probably not the best assessment from us there. Yes we wanted to go out there and get the total quickly to boost the NRR but probably when we were 4 down, we had to calm down a little bit,” RCB captain Faf Du Plessis said at the post-match presentation.
Virat is the highest run-scorer in IPL 2024 right now with an impressive strike rate of 148.09.
