During the high-intensity IPL clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), a tense moment unfolded when Virat Kohli was struck on the helmet. While Kohli quickly regained his composure and continued playing, it was his wife, actress Anushka Sharma's visibly anxious reaction in the stands that captured the internet's attention.
In now-viral visuals from the match, Anushka was seen gasping and appearing visibly terrified as she watched the ball hit Kohli's helmet. Her hands flew to her face, clearly showing concern for her husband's well-being.
Social media has now been flooded with visuals of Anushka's reaction. This isn't the first time Anushka's response during Kohli's game has gone viral. The actress is often spotted cheering her husband passionately from the stands.

Anushka was seen passionately supporting the star cricketer during RCB's clash against SRH in Lucknow. Dressed in a violet outfit, Anushka looked completely absorbed in the high-stakes encounter as she cheered from the stands.
RCB entered the match in strong form, sitting second on the points table with 17 points from eight wins, three losses, and one no result. A victory in this game would see them leapfrog Gujarat Titans (18 points) to claim the top spot. The team has already secured a place in the playoffs, marking their fifth qualification in the last six seasons, as they continue their pursuit of a maiden IPL title.
On the other hand, SRH’s campaign has struggled. Placed eighth on the table with nine points from four wins, seven losses, and one no result, they are already out of contention for the playoffs. Even a win in this match would not change their fate in the tournament.
