Anushka's post for Virat

On Monday afternoon, Anushka celebrated the victory with a special post for Virat and RCB on Instagram. She shared a heartwarming picture of Virat holding the trophy as she planted a kiss on his forehead, leaving the cricketer all smiles. Keeping the post simple, Anushka skipped a written note and captioned it only with a victory hand sign, a heart, and folded hands emojis.

RCB’s second straight IPL title win was followed by celebrations on and off the field, with Anushka’s social media posts and dance videos becoming part of the moment.

The win marked another historic achievement for RCB, who became only the third team in IPL history to successfully defend their title, joining Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI).

Anushka and Virat's love story began during an advertisement shoot, and the couple got married in December 2017. They welcomed their daughter Vamika in January 2021 and a son named Akaay in February 2024.
