It's Sunday, and it's match day! Team India is facing off against New Zealand in a crucial group-stage match of the Champions Trophy. The winning team will secure the top spot on the table and face Australia in the semi-finals.
After scoring a modest 11 runs off 14 balls, Virat Kohli attempted a shot off New Zealand bowler Matt Henry towards the off-side. However, Glenn Phillips took a stunning flying catch, sending the Indian skipper back to the dressing room.
As per BCCI's new policy, the wives of Indian players are allowed to attend only one game in the Champions Trophy. Both Anushka Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh were present in the stands to support their husbands.
Following Virat's dismissal, it was Anushka Sharma's priceless reaction that caught the internet's attention. The actress was seen holding her forehead in disappointment and murmuring something to her friends in the stands.

A viral video from the India-New Zealand match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium shows Ritika Sajdeh holding Ahaan on her lap while Virat Kohli's wife, Anushka Sharma, playfully interacts with him.
She was seen smiling and greeting Ritika before interacting with the baby boy, who responded adorably. The video has gone viral, as this marks the first time Anushka has met Rohit's son.
