It was celebration time for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) last night as they booked their spot in the IPL 2026 final with a 92-run win over Gujarat Titans (GT) at Dharamsala’s HPCA Stadium. Joining the celebrations from the stands was Anushka Sharma, and Virat Kohli made sure to share the moment with her. He walked over for a hug after the match, and a video of the moment is now all over social media.

The now-viral video opens to show Virat walking towards the stands soon after entering the finals. After briefly greeting a few people, he finally reached Anushka and hugged her as the two celebrated RCB’s big win together. They were also seen chatting animatedly before Virat went back again.
In another video doing the rounds on social media, Virat can be seen speaking to Anushka from the field before heading back.
As expected, fans couldn’t stop talking about the sweet moment. One social media user wrote, “Beside every strong man, there is a strong woman.” Another commented, “They both are soulmates for real.” A third wrote, “Anushka Sharma’s reaction was every RCB fan last night.”
After the match, Virat and Anushka were also spotted leaving Dharamsala Airport together. The couple chose matching outfits - white T-shirts, black jeans and blue shirts.
