After RCB's iconic IPL 2025 win, Virat Kohli embraces Anushka Sharma in a long, tight hug, sheds happy tears: ‘She's a Bengaluru girl as well'
After 18 long years, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) created history in Ahmedabad by winning their first-ever Indian Premier League title on June 3. Virat Kohli, who has been with the team since the beginning, shed happy tears as wife Anushka Sharma came running towards him for a long, tight hug, and a forehead kiss from the cricketer. In a chat post the award ceremony, Kohli also opened up about the significance of the win for the Zero actor, whom he married in 2017.
'What your life partner does for you to be able to play, and the sacrifices, and the commitment, and just backing you through thick and thin…it's something that you can't explain in words. Only when you play professionally do you understand the number of things that go on behind the scenes and what they go through emotionally as well. Watching me down and out, her coming to the games, being so connected with Bengaluru…she is a Bengaluru girl as well…being connected to RCB is very special for her as well. She must be so so proud,' said Kohli.
Reflecting on the heartwarming moment, Dr Santosh Bangar, senior consultant psychiatrist, Gleneagles Hospitals, Parel, Mumbai, said that supporting each other through thick and thin and being a constant cheerleader can not only help the relationship thrive, but it also helps individual performances. 'It can create a sense of teamwork and also boost trust. Even a little push or encouragement can bolster the confidence of your partner, making Herculean tasks easier to handle,' Dr Bangar added.
In the realm of human connection, the profound embrace shared between two individuals in moments of triumph speaks volumes about the power of emotional support and the bonds that form, and the joy seen in Kohli's embrace of Anushka after a hard-fought victory exemplifies this notion. 'It invites us to reflect on how our loved ones are not merely spectators in our lives, but are integral to our journey. Their presence amplifies our joys and helps us navigate our sorrows,' expressed Dr Bangar.
Such moments become not just personal victories but shared milestones that strengthen the bond we hold, reminding us of the beauty of togetherness in every win.
According to Dr Bangar, supporting each other emotionally through tough times, listening to feelings without being judgmental and celebrating every small success can help create a loving and positive environment. This is the key to a healthy relationship, he noted.

He also asserted that both partners need to feel happy, supported, respected, and valued to stay happier and more motivated. 'A strong relationship is always built on mutual respect, trust, shared responsibilities and the willingness to grow together,' said Dr Bangar.

Sourav Ganguly's blueprint for Shubman Gill on how to use Jasprit Bumrah in England; ‘Use him as wicket-taker, use…'
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly dished out a detailed blueprint on how to use Jasprit Bumrah on English conditions to get maximum output from the pacer in the five-match Test series. Bumrah has been one of the pillars in Indian cricket in the past few years. However, his workload management in recent times has been a concern. Although the Indian management would want the premier pacer to be available for all five Tests, Bumrah is likely to be rested in at least one Test match if not a couple, thus ensuring him to be in his best possible shape throughout the series. Ganguly came up with a clear plan for new captain Shubman Gill on how to get Bumrah for all the five games. 'Shubman Gill needs to understand to not bowl Bumrah into the ground. Use him as a wicket-taker, use him in short spells, so that he remains fit for five Test matches,' Ganguly told RevSportz. "And make sure the others (chip in) – young Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj has got tremendous fitness and ability, and is a warhorse. 'Make sure Bumrah is used as a wicket-taker. He has got to understand that, and I am sure Gautam (Gambhir) is there , and the senior players there, they will guide him,' added the former BCCI president. Despite being the no.1 Test bowler in the world, Bumrah broke down in Australia in the fifth and final Test in Sydney. Such was the extent of his back injury, that the 31-year-old had to miss India's triumphant ICC Champions Trophy campaign in Dubai and the initial part of the recently-concluded Indian Premier League for Mumbai Indians. With four fast bowlers important against England, Ganguly wants Gill to not use Bumrah for more than 12-13 overs in a day. 'You've got to look out for him and not make him bowl more than 12-13 overs. I believe four fast bowlers are important,' said the former left-hander. 'Here, others will have to be the warhorses like Siraj, Arshdeep. Not sure about a Nitish or a Shardul Thakur. Maybe they can get some runs with the bat, but I think India need to back the seven batters and then back the bowlers, because we need 20 wickets to win Test matches,' he said.

Gautam Gambhir, Shubman Gill poked by England; told India will 'miss Virat Kohli's aura, chirping': 'Our boys are ready'
Eighteen years. 18. That's how long it's been since India last won a Test series in England. In these last 18 years, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin made their debuts, carved out a legacy like no other and retired. Yet, a win in England has eluded their Test careers. And now, in 2025, as a young Indian team takes centre-stage in England, while they are clearly not the favourites to break the hoodoo, do not rule out the element of surprise. Look no further than the 2020-21 tour of Australia, where a young Indian team, battling injuries, did the unthinkable and wrapped up a memorable 2-1 series win. India have not lost a Test series to England since 2018. They beat England 3-1 at home in 2021, drew the series 2-2 away in 2021-2022 and defeated them again last year at home 4-1. However, the upcoming series, starting in 10 days' time, offers a fresh challenge. With new captain Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir in charge, India embark on a new World Test Championship cycle, ushering in the post-Kohli-Rohit-Ashwin era, in search of finding and building new superstars. Also Read: Kane Williamson identifies the 'next Fab 4' of world cricket after him, Kohli, Smith, Root; two Indians get the honour The retirement of Virat Kohli, with a little over a month to go for the Test series, threw the fans off guard, but more than the Indians, the Englishmen seem to be more affected by it. Current and former cricketers are ruing not having Kohli in England, including Ollie Pope, who reckons India will certainly miss having their most successful captain in the UK. Pope has no reservations about the pool of young talent that the Indian squad has been injected with. But well, at the end of the day, there is only one Virat Kohli. Also Read: Sourav Ganguly fires shots at Agarkar, BCCI for dropping Shreyas Iyer from India squad, says 'not a player to be left out' "It's a young team, but these Indian players… they have got so much depth and talent. So they've got a lot of young guys coming through; a lot of good players. Shubman Gill, their new captain, is a fantastic player. They will miss the aura of Virat Kohli standing at slips and chirping away. But they have got some good talent, so they will feel confident. But our players are ready for it," Pope said during an interaction with talkSPORT cricket. Pope says England, who haven't faced a quality Test team over the last 12 months, are thrilled to have a team like India touring is the perfect preparation for the big one later this year – the Ashes in Australia. However, he is not making the mistake of considering the series against India an afterthought. More so, given England's seven-year-long wait to win a Test series against the Men in Blue. "It's a great time for us to play India. Last summer, we had the West Indies and Sri Lanka, but with India coming over, the level of quality that they will bring is a great way for us to focus on that and not look ahead. So yeah, for us, it's the perfect time to play India, and then once the Ashes come around, it will be exciting," Pope pointed out.
