A match between India and Pakistan always comes with built-in action; thus, a nerve-wracking environment engulfed the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Anushka Sharma became emotional after Virat Kohli was out early in the game. The whole Indian crowd got upset and emotional as their icon was returned to the pavilion in the early game.
This was vividly exemplified through the act of cheering that is normally associated with sports fanatics, where the stadium became alive with hope as the congregation of fans waited for their hero to come.

But surprisingly, there was one celebrity lady who seemed to be enjoying herself fully in the middle of the deluge of emotion. Anushka Sharma, the spouse of Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli. Standing in the colorful apparel of the Indian team, she was equally looking excited and tense, pinning her hopes on the man going onto the field with great confidence by her side.
Even Anushka Sharma, another Bollywood rival, had transformed herself into a powerhouse of support for Virat and the Indian cricket team, whom she was always captured supporting from the spectator stands during their matches.

With the start of the match and as deliveries were bowled in the match, excitement for each side increased more and more. The clash of the two cricketing giants intended that each delivered ball and every single stroke made symbolized something, or rather represented more than a trivial desperation for victory.
Toral Virat Kohli, the embodiment of calmness, stood there with full concentration, nose at the skyline, undeterred by the haunting noise on the ground.
Virat Kohli’s Moment: A Split-Second Decision
But fate had decided otherwise for two remarkable individuals. One particular over, which Kohli looked desperate to have a bat at, was an incredible delivery by Pakistani bowler Naseem Shah’s pumping in a teasing line just outside the off-stump line in what seemed like slow motion. Deep down the minds at work and overwhelmed by raw talent and perhaps overconfidence, Kohli swished to have a go at what can only be described as very precise and powerful hits.
When the ball went up in the air, people all over the stadium gasped for breath as India fans cheered and Pakistan fans held their heads in their hands.

However, with the ball peaking to the top of its power and reach, it started its decline in a more downward way, being caught in the hands of Pakistani fielder Usman Khan, who was placed in the outfield.
Anushka’s emotional journey
It looked like there was no movement as the catch was taken perfectly as a reward for excellent bowling by Naseem Shah; this dismissal meant the end of Kohli, and there was shock in the Indian camp. For a moment, Anushka sat still, her hands joined in prayer, as she watched her husband return from the field, his face full of disappointment and frustration.
