Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) were crowned IPL 2026 champions after defeating Gujarat Titans (GT) in the final at Ahmedabad on Sunday. Chasing 156 for victory,
Virat Kohli led from the front with an unbeaten 75 off 42 balls. RCB won its second consecutive IPL title.
Anushka Sharma was seen cheering for Kohli and the team at the stadium and while RCB fans can't stop celebrating, it's Virat and Anushka who have taken over the internet yet again with their cute moments going viral.
As soon as the team won, Virat was seen flying kisses at Anushka while she reciprocated. She was also seen cheering as he smashed a winning six. A user shared the video and wrote, "Look at Anushka Sharma's aggressive celebration after Virat Kohli smashed the winning six against GT. Virat Kohli finished the match in style with a four and a six. Back-to-back IPL titles"
A fan shared a video which said, "I love the way Virat looks for Anushka the moment he wins the match."
Kohli later brought Anushka on the ground to celebrate the victory.
Virat has never shied away from appreciating his lady love and the influence she has in his life. The duo is now deeply inclined towards spirituality and is seen visiting Premanand ji Maharaj often in Vrindavan. Anushka is also seen wearing a 'tulsi mala' lately and was also seen with the same in today's match.
The cricketer has also admitted to turning vegetarian because of Anushka. In a 2020 interview with Vogue, he credited her for helping him evolve as a person and bringing greater balance to his life.
Reflecting on their relationship, Virat said, “Anushka has given me a new lease on life. I was not the most understanding or balanced person before I met her. She has inspired me to be a better human being and I feel blessed to spend my life with the most amazing woman I know.” Virat also revealed that Anushka's compassion towards animals played a key role in changing his outlook on food and lifestyle choices. Speaking about his decision to give up meat, he shared, “Anushka has been vegetarian for four years, while I turned to it two years ago for health reasons. I can never eat meat again because of her love for animals, it made me look at things differently.”
