Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting star Virat Kohli's wife Anushka Sharma's reaction surfaced after Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant's unique celebration following his breathtaking hundred in the IPL 2025 match at the Ekana International Stadium. Anushka was spotted speaking to the lady beside her after Pant performed a flip to celebrate his hundred.
Pant, who has had a forgettable tournament, returned to his best form in what was their final game of the edition. The left-handed batter got to the three-figure mark in the 18th over of the innings by flaying the ball over the extra cover region for a boundary and needed only 54 balls to reach there. After the 27-year-old performed the flip, Anushka's reaction surfaced.

Nevertheless, the keeper-batter wasn't fortunate enough to end up on the winning side as his unbeaten 118 went in vain. Fifties from Virat Kohli (54) and Jitesh Sharma (85*) powered the Royal Challengers past the mammoth target of 228 with eight balls and six wickets to spare.
"There will be lot of areas where we will be talking" - Rishabh Pant
Pant addressed his unbeaten 118 off 61 deliveries by claiming that he maintained the same intensity throughout the innings. However, he felt LSG's campaign came apart due to their inconsistencies and the chances they failed to take every time it presented. The southpaw said at the post-game presentation:
"Eventually you've got to play 40 overs of good cricket. Twenty overs aren't going to save you. I was feeling well with each and every match. But sometimes it just doesn't come off. Whenever you get a start, try to make it as big as possible. I was trying to play the field - how they were going to bowl Just playing through the line. Just kept on playing with the same intensity throughout the innings."
"There will be lot of areas where we will be talking. But the season is just ending. Just want to switch off for a few days. The way our batting unit has come up, there have been some special bowling performances also. We've been getting chances, but we haven't been able to maintain. That is costing us the match."
