Bollywood star and wife of former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma, attend her first Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match of the season at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday. For most of the match, Anushka was seen in a cheerful mood with Kohli notching up his second fifty of IPL 2023 but a late onslaught by Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran of Lucknow Super Giants changed her mood drastically.

Kohli smashes 61 off 44 balls with the bat as RCB were sent into bat in Bengaluru and thanks to skipper Faf du Plessis, who scored 79, posted an impressive 212 for 2. Glenn Maxwell chipped in with an equally brilliant 59 off 29 balls.

Like many others in the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Anushka was left stunned after Stoinis and Pooran essayed a miracle win, completed off the final ball of the match.
