IPL 2026 [WATCH]: Anushka Sharma’s hilarious gesture on Virat Kohli’s six during RCB vs GT encounter

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru transformed into a cauldron of noise on the evening of Friday, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) hosted Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 34th match of IPL 2026. In a high-octane encounter that swung like a pendulum, RCB emerged victorious by 5 wickets, successfully chasing down a daunting target of 206. While the cricketing world marvelled at the technical prowess on display, it was a moment of pure, unscripted emotion from the stands that stole the digital spotlight.

Anushka Sharma’s priceless reaction after Virat Kohli smashes a six during RCB vs GT game

Virat Kohli, the heartbeat of the Bengaluru franchise, was in a murderous mood against the Titans’ bowling attack. Before eventually being cleaned up by a deceptive delivery from Jason Holder, Kohli had already dismantled the opposition with a blistering 81 off just 44 deliveries. His vintage knock was punctuated by eight fours and four towering sixes, one of which triggered a hilarious celebration from his wife, Anushka Sharma.

Anushka, a constant pillar of support who has attended nearly every RCB home game this season, was seen celebrating wildly as the ball sailed over the ropes. Carried away by the adrenaline of the moment, she was caught on camera making a playful ‘money-splashing’ gesture toward the field—a nod to Kohli cashing in on the bowlers.

However, the hilarity ensued when she realized the stadium big screen had switched its focus directly to her. The transition from her exuberant celebration to a sudden, wide-eyed guilty expression was instantaneous. Realizing her antics were being broadcast to millions, she quickly composed herself with a sheepish grin, a moment that immediately went viral as fans dubbed it the most relatable oops moment of the season.

RCB thrash Gujarat Titans in a dominant IPL 2026 clash

While the off-field moments provided the entertainment, the on-field statistics told a story of clinical dominance by the Bengaluru franchise. Despite a magnificent century by Sai Sudharsan (100 off 58 balls), the Gujarat Titans were unable to defend their total of 205/3.

However, the RCB chase was orchestrated with surgical precision. Virat Kohli, later named Player of the Match, anchored the innings with a vintage 81 off 44 balls, striking at a rate of 184.09. He was ably supported by Devdutt Padikkal, whose explosive 55 off 27 balls (including 6 towering sixes) dismantled the GT spin attack in the middle overs.

Despite a late-innings wobble where Rashid Khan picked up two quick wickets, Krunal Pandya (23) and Tim David (10) ensured there were no further hiccups. RCB reached 206/5 with 7 balls to spare, cementing their position at 2 on the points table and proving that at the Chinnaswamy, no total is truly safe when the King is in his element.
