Summary

Anushka Sharma is being universally celebrated by cricket fans as the ultimate "lucky charm" for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after their historic, back-to-back IPL championship victory. The team defeated the Gujarat Titans in a one-sided final held in Ahmedabad, securing their second consecutive trophy under the leadership of Virat Kohli. Kohli not only top-scored in the match to claim Player of the Match honors but also blew flying kisses to Sharma in the stands upon hitting the winning shot, eliciting a joyful response from her.
This emotional victory marks a significant shift in public narrative for the couple. After years of facing unwarranted online trolling, particularly when Kohli experienced a rare off-day, Anushka's joyful presence in the stands is now credited by millions of fans as the team's winning good luck charm. Social media was flooded with Sharma's celebratory photos, with users calling her the team's lucky charm and crediting her presence for the win.
The couple married in 2018 in Italy and have since been living in the UK, raising their two children. Sharma was last seen in a cameo in her production 'Qala' in 2022 and her last full acting role was in 'Zero' in 2018. Her biopic 'Chakda Xpress' based on Jhulan Goswami's life, filmed in 2022, is awaiting release with no confirmed date.
