Virat Kohli Flying Kiss: In the opening match of IPL 2026, RCB defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 6 wickets. Virat Kohli played the biggest role with the bat in this victory of RCB. He held one end of the wicket. Those who came out to open were never out. As a result, he returned after giving victory to the team. While coming back from the ground, he shook hands with some players and hugged others. But, at the same time, he gave a flying kiss to his wife Anushka Sharma present in the stands of the stadium, the video of which is now viral. Anushka Sharma’s reply was also seen in the same video, which Ananya Birla, who was present with her, just kept watching.
Both things were seen in the opening match of IPL 2026 itself.
Neither making the team win while chasing runs nor giving flying kisses to his wife Anushka Sharma during cricket matches is anything new for Virat Kohli. Both these things have now become very common. But, in IPL 2026, both these things were seen in the same match and were seen for the first time, hence they have become special.
How did Anushka respond to Virat’s flying kiss?
The video that surfaced is after the opening match of IPL 2026 played between RCB and SRH. In this video, Virat Kohli can be seen coming out of the ground, pointing towards his wife Anushka Sharma and giving her a flying KISS. In return, Anushka can also be seen giving flying KISS to Virat. When Ananya Birla, standing near Anushka, saw this openly expressed love, her reaction was worth seeing.
