Anushka heartbroken [Source: @xtratimeindia/x.com]
Throughout the IPL 2025 season, Virat Kohli has been in fine touch as the batter has destroyed the opposition bowlers with his dazzling stroke-play. However, in the grand finale against Punjab Kings, 'King' Kohli failed to deliver and was dismissed for a scratchy-looking 43.
The wicket which broke Anushka's heart
On a wicket which had spongy bounce, the PBKS bowler utilised the conditions to their advantage as they restricted RCB and Kohli in the first 10 overs. Kohli, himself, looked out of sorts as he couldn't get going and just when he looked to press the accelerator, Azmatullah Omarzai struck the big blow to him.
He bowled a brilliant short ball as Kohli failed to pull it away and the bowler took a smart caught&bowled.
After the wicket, Kohli was dejected, but more than him, it was his wife, Anushka Sharma who looked heartbroken. The Bollywood Actress was left silenced as she witnessed Kohli walk back with disappointment. She came in with a lot of excitement but was left silenced after RCB opener's wicket.
Kohli's excellent IPL season ends in misery
This has been the season of Virat Kohli as the RCB opener has been in terrific form, amassing 657 runs in 15 matches, including 8 fifties. Interestingly, all his fifties have come in winning causes as RCB reached the finale due to his batting heroics.
However, in the finale, despite scoring in excess of 40 runs, the veteran batter wasn't at his usual best as the PBKS bowlers curtailed his form and restricted his scoring areas.
