Early Dismissals Shock Anushka and Athiya
KL Rahul fell for 0 runs off 5 balls, while Virat Kohli managed just 5 runs from 29 balls, leaving India struggling at 33/3. Cameras captured Anushka Sharma and Athiya Shetty’s stunned reactions in the stands, their faces reflecting the collective heartbreak of Indian cricket fans.
Anushka, dressed in a blue-striped shirt and white skirt, and Athiya, wearing a white top paired with beige pants, were seen covering their mouths in shock. Their reactions quickly went viral on social media, with fans expressing sympathy and humor in equal measure.
Fan Reactions Flood Social Media
One Reddit user commented, “Whole India’s reaction after seeing them perform today.” Another added, “Shocked? They should be mad at them.” Meanwhile, a more critical comment stated, “Can understand Athiya’s shock, but Anushka shouldn’t be surprised anymore.”
A Bond Beyond Cricket
Anushka and Athiya were also seen bonding during earlier days of the Test match. A photo of Anushka posing with Indian cricketer Nitish Kumar Reddy’s family also went viral, showcasing her warm camaraderie off the field.
Life Beyond the Stadium
Both actresses have been away from films for a while. Anushka, known for blockbusters like “Sultan”, “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi”, and “PK”, has been on a professional break since the birth of her daughter, Vamika, and son, Akaay.
On the other hand, Athiya and KL Rahul are preparing to welcome their first child in 2025. The actress had shared an adorable post in November, announcing her pregnancy with the caption, “Our beautiful blessing is coming soon. 2025.”
While the match didn’t go as planned for their husbands, the love and support from Anushka and Athiya continue to win hearts both on and off the field.
