Anushka Sharma's Disappointed Reaction to Virat's Early Dismissal in India vs New Zealand Match Goes Viral

Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma was present at the Dubai International Stadium on March 2, 2025, to support Team India and her husband, Virat Kohli, in their Champions Trophy 2025 group stage match against New Zealand. However, Kohli’s early dismissal left fans heartbroken, and Anushka’s reaction perfectly reflected the emotions of millions of cricket lovers.

The much-anticipated clash between India and New Zealand saw an intense battle on the field. Kohli, one of India’s most dependable batsmen, got out after scoring just 11 runs off 14 balls. Glenn Phillips took a stunning catch, sending Kohli back to the pavilion earlier than expected. Cameras quickly panned to Anushka Sharma, who was visibly shocked. Sitting in the stands, she placed her hand on her head, expressing sheer disappointment over the unexpected wicket. Dressed in a striped blue shirt with minimal makeup and open hair, the actress’s reaction instantly went viral, with fans relating to her emotions.

Anushka has always been a pillar of support for Virat, standing by him in both victories and defeats. Just a few days ago, on February 23, she celebrated Kohli’s brilliant century against Pakistan by sharing a picture of him on her Instagram Stories. She captioned it with a red heart and folded hands emojis, showing her admiration for his performance.

Virat, too, has often spoken about Anushka’s unwavering support. Last year, after scoring a century in Australia, he praised her and expressed his unconditional love for her.

Anushka has been right by my side through thick and thin. She knows everything that goes on behind the scenes when I am in the room—what goes on in the head when you don’t play as well or you make a few mistakes when you’re getting yourself in.

Meanwhile, Team India has already secured a place in the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy. Their next challenge will be against either Australia or South Africa in Dubai. Fans are hopeful for another stellar performance from Kohli in the upcoming matches.
