Anushka Sharma Blames Virat Kohli After Losing Pickleball Match: "It Was Him". Cricketer's Reaction Is Crazy Viral
New Delhi:
Taking a break from the cricket, Virat Kohli recently swapped bat for paddle as he played a fun game of pickleball at the Royal Challengers Bengaluru camp. His plus one was his actor-wife Anushka Sharma (obviously).
The couple teamed up on the court and gave fans a glimpse into their sporty side, full of laughter, banter and some adorable moments.
On Wednesday, RCB's official Instagram handle shared a video from the session, showing Virat and Anushka competing in a light-hearted match. They were joined by RCB mentor Dinesh Karthik and his wife Deepika Pallikal, a professional squash player.
Throughout the match, the couple was seen cheering each other on, exchanging high-fives and breaking into giggles. At one point, after losing a point, Anushka cheekily said, "It was him," pointing to Kohli. In another moment, she was seen trying to explain the court rules to him.
One of the funniest bits in the video shows Anushka attempting a serve, only to miss it - prompting Kohli to burst into laughter and hide his face behind the pickleball paddle. Kohli even jokingly said "Oh piya" mid-game.

While the couple had a blast on the court, Virat and Anushka's team failed to make it to the semi-finals of the friendly match.
Anushka and Virat met in 2013 during a commercial shoot and got married in 2017 in Tuscany, Italy. They welcomed Vamika in January 2021 and their son Akaay in February 2024.
On the professional front, Anushka Sharma was last seen in a cameo role in Qala. Prior to that, she appeared in the 2018 film Zero alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif.
The actress also worked on a biopic based on Indian women's cricketer Jhulan Goswami, titled Chakda Xpress. However, the release date for the film has not yet been confirmed.

Madurai student to play int'l disability cricket series in England
Madurai: G Vikash Ganeshkumar, a 21-year-old student from The Bethshan Higher Special School in Pasumalai, Madurai, is set to represent India in the upcoming International T20 Mixed Disability Cricket Series against England. The series is scheduled to be held in London from June 15 to July 4. Vikash is one of only four intellectually disabled players in the 16-member Indian squad and the sole representative from Tamil Nadu. The series is organised by the Differently Abled Cricket Council of India (DCCI) in collaboration with the England and Wales Cricket Board. Vikash's mother, Prema Latha, recalls discovering that her son was mildly intellectually disabled at the age of five. "He studied in a mainstream school until Class 8. Later, we enrolled him at Bethshan, where teachers encouraged him to try different sports. Though he always loved cricket, it wasn't a part of the Special Olympics programme back then," she said. His father, Ganesh Kumar, a sub-inspector in charge of the dog squad with Madurai police, said Vikash initially explored other sports like badminton to qualify for special events. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending Local Enterprise Accounting Software [Click Here] Accounting ERP Click Here Undo "But the moment cricket was included in the mixed disability category, he focused fully on it. He first played at the district level, then qualified for the state-level competition in Perambur. The DCCI selectors noticed him and even asked for videos of him batting and bowling," he said. That video, combined with his state-level performance, earned him a call from the DCCI a month ago. "That day was the happiest moment of his life. His dream was always to wear the India jersey. As a mother, I often wondered if it would be possible. But my mother always believed he would achieve something great — and today, he has," said Latha. Vikash is currently undergoing training in Jaipur and will fly to England on Saturday. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
