She did not write a message with the post, and used only a victory hand sign, a heart and folded hands emojis in the caption.
The picture drew quick attention on social media and crossed 1.7 million likes within one hour of being posted on Instagram. The post came a day after RCB’s final against Gujarat Titans, which ended in a title-winning celebration for the Bengaluru side.
Soon after the final, Anushka had shared another picture of Virat celebrating in a T-shirt carrying the slogan, ‘Once felt nice, we did it twice’, along with a heart emoji. Videos of Anushka dancing with the RCB team after the win also went viral soon after.
