Royal Challengers Bengaluru‘s (RCB) dream run continued on Sunday as they secured their fifth consecutive victory, defeating Delhi Capitals by a convincing 47 runs. This win keeps their playoff hopes alive, after a bleak start to the season. Virat Kohli‘s wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, perfectly captured the emotions of RCB fans with her joyous celebration after the final wicket fell.
RCB resurrection in IPL 2024
Earlier in the season, an RCB playoff qualification seemed highly unlikely. However, their recent winning streak has completely transformed their fortunes. The emphatic win against DC keeps them in the race for a playoff spot, but a big win over Chennai Super Kings, coupled with favorable results from other matches, will be crucial.
Anushka Sharma unmissable Celebration
Anushka Sharma’s presence at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru added to the electric atmosphere. Her enthusiastic reaction mirrored the emotions of every RCB fan.
As the last DC wicket fell, she jumped up in excitement, folded her hands in prayer, and joined the crowd’s celebratory roar. This genuine display of joy resonated with RCB supporters everywhere.

Virat Kohli’s sister, Bhawna Kohli Dingara, also showed her support at the stadium, sharing a picture of her brother on Instagram with the caption “sizzlin’.” This family support adds another layer to the feel-good narrative of RCB’s resurgence.
