The much-awaited cricket World Cup match between India and Australia took place on November 19 and Australia lifted the trophy for the 6th time by defeating India by six wickets. Indian cricket players were seen getting emotional after losing the match and Anushka Sharma was seen hugging Viral Kohli as well. Anushka attended several matches to cheer team India and Virat and was seen sitting with Athiya Shetty at the final match.
The picture of Anushka consoling Virat has been going viral on social media and fans are calling them the ideal couple.
Shah Rukh Khan, who was at the stadium to see the match, also penned a heartfelt note for team India and cheered for them. He wrote on X, "The way the Indian team has played this whole tournament is a matter of honour and they showed great spirit and tenacity. It’s a sport and there are always a bad day or two. Unfortunately it happened today….but thank u Team India for making us so proud of our sporting legacy in cricket…u bring too much cheer to the whole of India. Love and respect.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have always cheered for each other. Earlier, in an interview, Virat Kohli revealed that Anushka Sharma has made big sacrifices as a mother. Speaking in a recent podcast for Royal Challengers Bangalore, the cricketer said that his wife is truly an inspiration to him.
He said, "The way things have been in the past two years, we have had our child and, as a mother, the sacrifices that she made have been massive. Looking at her, I realised whatever problems I had were nothing.”

"As far as expectations are concerned, as long as your family loves you for who you are, you don’t expect much because that is the basic requirement. When you look for inspiration, you start from home and, obviously, Anushka has been a big inspiration for me,” he added.
On the work front, Anushka will be seen in the film 'Chakda Xpress' which is the biopic of cricketer Jhulan Goswami. The movie will release on Netflix.
