Anushka Sharma’s reaction after India’s defeat goes viral, fans defend her from haters

Australia defeated India by 209 runs to win the 2023 World Test Championship, shattering the dreams of millions of cricket fans across the nation. India made an attempt to make a credible fight, but Australia crushed their hopes right off the bat under the leadership of Rohit Sharma.

The Indian side was in danger of losing, and neither Rohit Sharma’s 43 runs from 60 deliveries nor former skipper Virat Kohli’s 49 runs from 78 balls in the second innings could save them.

An image of Anushka Sharma, who was at the Oval, looking visibly upset has now gone viral, with captions describing it as the sentiment of all Indian cricket fans.

The clip of Anushka’s reaction to Steve Smith’s sensational slip catch to dismiss Kohli quickly gained popularity on social media. The actress could be seen in the photo sitting in the stadium with her hands folded and resting against her chin. She appeared shocked and sad.

Anushka was once again blamed for Kohli’s failure and India’s defeat by trolls after Australia raised the WTC mace for the first time, referring to her as “bad luck” and “panauti” for the Indian cricket team. But, her supporters quickly stepped in to protect the actress and came to her aid.
