Anushka Sharma reacts as RCB Women make history again in a dramatic WPL final. What made this victory so special for the Bengaluru side? Read more to find out.
Actor-producer Anushka Sharma was clearly soaking in the moment as Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifted their second Women’s Premier League title, calling it a case of “history repeated” after Smriti Mandhana’s side outclassed Delhi Capitals in a thrilling final.
Shortly after RCB’s six-wicket win on February 5, Anushka shared a celebratory image of the women’s team with the trophy and praised their repeat triumph. With RCB Women once again finishing on top against DC, her post quickly caught fans’ attention, adding a Bollywood stamp to an already memorable night for the franchise.
Take a look at her post:
How did RCB Women seal their second WPL title?
The final was anything but low-key. Delhi Capitals, batting first, put up a formidable 203, setting RCB a stiff chase in a high-pressure atmosphere. But what followed was a masterclass in controlled aggression from RCB’s top order.
Captain Smriti Mandhana led from the front with a blistering 87 off just 41 balls, striking the ball cleanly and confidently. She was ably supported by Georgia Voll, whose 79 from 54 deliveries ensured the asking rate never spiralled out of control.
Why was Mandhana and Voll’s partnership crucial?
The Mandhana–Voll partnership completely shifted the momentum of the game. Their understanding in the middle made a daunting chase look surprisingly manageable, frustrating Delhi Capitals’ bowlers and energising the RCB dugout.
With the platform firmly set, Radha Yadav added the finishing touches late in the innings, smashing back-to-back fours to take RCB to 204/4 in 19.4 overs and spark jubilant celebrations.
Why did Anushka Sharma’s reaction grab attention?
Anushka’s reaction resonated not just because of her celebrity status, but also due to her long-standing association with the RCB brand through husband Virat Kohli. Married since 2017, the couple is currently based in London with their two children, Vamika and Akaay.
Though Anushka has largely stepped away from acting since her last film Zero in 2018, she continues to remain visible during key cricketing moments. Her shelved comeback project Chakda ’Xpress may have kept her off screens, but moments like RCB’s WPL triumph show she’s still very much part of India’s sporting conversation -- especially when history repeats itself in red and gold.
