Anushka not only liked RCB's celebratory posts on Instagram but also shared a heartwarming picture with Virat, capturing a special moment from the unforgettable night.
In the picture, Anushka could be seen planting a kiss on Virat's forehead as the duo held the trophy together.In the caption, she dropped a fingers-crossed emoji, a red heart emoji, and a folded hands emoji.
She uploaded a photo of Virat with his back towards the camera on social media. In the picture, Kohli is seen wearing a T-shirt that reads, "One felt nice, we did it twice."
Reacting to this adorable gesture of his wife, Virat dropped a red heart as a comment.

So happy for RCB! 🏆 Finally, the trophy is coming home again. And Anushka and Virat are just ❤️. Their love story is like a Bollywood movie, but real. Glad to see them celebrating together. Kohli is the king of Indian cricket, no doubt.
I love how Anushka is always there for Virat, through ups and downs. Their bond is genuine, not like those fake PR relationships. And Virat's T-shirt "One felt nice, we did it twice" is pure class. 😂 RCB fans, this is for all the years of heartbreak!
I'm a die-hard RCB fan, and I'm over the moon! 🥳 But honestly, can we keep the celebration posts about the team's performance, not just about Virat and Anushka? There were 11 players who made this happen, including Washington Sundar and Rasikh Dar. Let's appreciate them too.
