While Anushka Sharma is the biggest cheerleader of her husband and cricketer Virat Kohli, she has a special message for MS Dhoni's fans. The Bollywood actress, who, arrived at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru to cheer for Virat Kohli's IPL team's match against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), was captured in a candid clip reacting to Dhoni's arrival on the field. Several images and videos of Anushka from the stadium went viral on social media.
In one such video, she was seen seating in the stands with RCB officials. She was bowled over by the crowd's support for MS Dhoni when he came to bat. She was caught telling her fans, "They love him" when Dhoni was marking his guard.

Soon after the clip went viral on social media, fans flooded the comment section with red hearts and fire emoticons. "Loved by whole universe #MSDhoni," a fan wrote. Another fan commented, "Moment of the day."

Glenn Maxwell and captain Faf du Plessis handled RCB's charge as they slammed CSK bowlers all around the ground while taking singles at regular intervals. The blistering duo of Maxwell and captain du Plessis brought up their 100-run partnership in just 48 balls. In the last over, Pathirana defended an equation of 19 runs with his perfect Yorkers and took the wicket of Prabhudessai to hand his team 8 run win over RCB.
