Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma spotted at Wimbledon during Novak Djokovic, Alex de Minaur clash for quarter-finals
Virat and Anushka arrived as spectators for the match between one of the greats of tennis, Novak Djokovic, and rising star Alex de Minaur.
In photos going viral on the internet, Virat and Anushka were seen sitting in the stands alongside other spectators. The Indian cricketer donned a brown blazer for the outing while Anushka looked elegant and classy in a white blazer.
The thrilling tennis match ended in another wing for Novak, a step forward for the Tennis legend to clinch another Wimbledon title to his name.
Kohli took to Instagram to share his excitement, posting a heartfelt story for Djokovic.
Last year, the Indian ODI cricket team captain Rohit Sharma also attended the Wimbledon tournament to watch the semifinal clash between Daniil Medvedev.
Kohli, who recently retired from Test cricket, was in London following his triumph with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in June 2025.
Coming to the match between Novak and Alex, the seven-time champion secured his berth in the final eight with 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in a contest that lasted for three hours and nineteen minutes.
Last year, De Minaur had to withdraw before his quarter-final clash against Djokovic at SW19 due to a hip injury he sustained in his fourth-round win against Arthur Fils.
De Minaur had dropped just one set en route to the Round of 16, but his run ended on a frustrating note. He steamrolled past Djokovic in the opening set, but the 26-year-old couldn't convert the break-point opportunities to turn around his fate. The limited errors from Djokovic kept things in his favour in the second and third sets.
In the fourth set, he rallied from 1-4 to earn a spot in the quarter-finals.
After sealing his 101st victory, the 24-time Grand Slam champion is three victories away from a record-extending 25th title. If Djokovic wins Wimbledon, the 38-year-old will go level with Roger Federer's tally of eight titles on the grass-court major. (ANI)

Superman 2 Weeks India Box Office: James Gunn's superhero flick performs decently in India; Nets little under Rs 45 crore after 2nd Thursday
Superman, directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult and others has completed two weeks at the Indian box office on a decent note. The movie has neither underperformed, nor has it overperformed. DC's poor recent track record didn't help prospects much, and whatever Superman could manage amidst stiff local and international competiton, it did. Superman Collects Rs 43.40 Crore Net After 2 Weeks At The Indian Box Office After two weeks, the movie's total collections stand at Rs 43.40 crore net. It should be adding another Rs 3.60 to 5.60 crore net, to end its run between Rs 47 and 49 crore net. The Fantastic Four: First Steps shall barge into most of its performing screens from week 3, and thus not much is expected from the movie after week 2. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Superman Are As Under Particulars India Net Collections Week 1 Rs 32.75 crore 2nd Friday Rs 1.65 crore 2nd Saturday Rs 3 crore 2nd Sunday Rs 3.35 crore 2nd Monday Rs 70 lakh 2nd Tuesday Rs 85 lakh 2nd Wednesday Rs 60 lakh 2nd Thursday Rs 50 lakh Total Rs 43.40 crore net in 2 weeks Note: The Collections don't include 3D handling charges Superman Targets A Lifetime Global Cume Of Over USD 600 Million; Can It Outgross Man Of Steel? Superman has seen its best response in the domestic market. The film is sure to cross the USD 350 million mark and if lucky, it shall also break into the USD 400 million club. After a generally underwhelming international start, the movie held reasonably in the days to follow. It is due to this hold that a USD 600 million global is now a foregone conclusion. What really needs to be seen is whether it can show some strong late legs to match the collections of Man Of Steel, the last standalone Superman film. The difference between both films is precisely of the reputation that the DC brand enjoyed; It was at an all time high back in the early 2010s, and now it's not. Obviously inflation is another factor, but we are living in unprecedented times when theatrical isn't as big as it was before Covid.

In a similar awe-inspiring video shared on Instagram, an 8-year-old boy flaunted his skills to pinpoint the exact pizza chain store behind each delicious pie he tasted. If that's not impressive enough, he did it all while blindfolded. In the video, George's father asks him to decide on an activity. Without hesitation, the young boy replies he would like to do a blind taste test where he tastes pizzas and guesses what store it came from. The next scene shows him sitting on a counter with a blindfold on. For the first pizza, he recognises the "small crust" of the pie by touch. He adds, "I taste an olive in there, is it Olive Garden?," correctly guessing the first pizza store. He rates it 50/50. Next, George takes a pizza slice in hand and mentions that its "long and pointy at the top," declaring it to be from Dominoes. His parents tell him that he is correct and ask for a rating. He rates it a "thumbs up out of 10". Not surprisingly, George guesses the remaining 3 pizzas from Pizza Hut, Little Ceasers and Papa John's correctly. His mother exclaims, "You read pizzas better than words." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ashley Seely (@thedashleys) Pizza lovers were impressed with young boy's pizza knowledge.
