Champions Trophy 2025: Virat Kohli's dismissal leaves fans disheartened; WATCH Anushka Sharma's reactions

The match between India and New Zealand for the Champions Trophy might have been awaited, but the moment when one of India's key batsmen, Virat Kohli, was bowled out for a mere 1 run, made everything so dramatic-the ball was dangerous bowled by Michael Bracewell; therefore, debatable LBW. Not only the fans, but even those sitting in the stands were heartbroken, including his wife, Anushka Sharma. 

Anushka Sharma's viral reaction

The cameras caught Anushka Sharma's reaction as soon as Kohli got out, and it immediately went viral on social media. Looking disappointed, she put a finger on her lips and closed her eyes in distress. The expressions are relatable to many a fan out there, with an indication that there was so much pressure, so much so riding on such high-stakes games. 

India's struggle 

Chase After the fall of Kohli, for 252 runs was put under further pressure. Rohit Sharma had already fallen prey to the left-arm spinner Rachin Ravindra, scoring 76 runs. Shubman Gill, too, played his shot against Mitchell Santner. The Indian spinners were quite preferential in bowling that restricted New Zealand to 251/7. Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav claimed two wickets each, whereas Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami claimed 1; Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell's contribution was key to New Zealand's 63 and 53 runs, respectively.
