It was a touching scene between Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma that overshadowed the game between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2026 match at Wankhede Stadium on April 12-13.

A gritty half-century by Virat was later lost as he was spotted off the field, though feeling ill. Cameras filmed him staring up at the stands where Anushka was sitting and moving his hands wildly in explanation of his absence. He gestured with his head with his finger to show his headache and his ankle to show the injury but also states in reports that he had a fever.

Anushka was listening intently, and she gave a nod of her head when the power couple brought this intimate talk on the stage before thousands on the spot. This open communication soon became viral on social media, and it was referred to as pure couple goals by fans.

Although he was struggling with the pain and his jacket was the only way to cool down in Mumbai heat, Kohli was playing with a bat. RCB won, and the wholesome Virat-Anushka moment helped to remind everyone that they remain played out of the affectionate heart of the cricket community.
