Actor Anushka Sharma, who was once trolled for being 'unlucky' for her then-boyfriend Virat Kohli, is now being hailed as the 'lucky charm' of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) after the team lifted their second successive Indian Premier League title.
Virat Kohli, 37, was the top scorer in RCB's successful chase against Gujarat Titans in the final at Ahmedabad, taking home the Player of the Match award. As he scored the winning runs, he blew flying kisses towards Anushka in the stands, who responded with joy and flying kisses of her own.
RCB's win marked their second successive IPL title, with Virat emerging as their leading run scorer in both campaigns. Fans took to social media to praise Anushka, with many calling her the 'lucky charm' of the team.
After reducing her appearances in the stadiums between 2021 and 2024 due to her children, Anushka has been regular in the stands over the last couple of years, and fans believe her presence has brought good fortune to RCB.
