1. Virat Kohli With Anushka Sharma
The couple who has always been in the news, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, once again grabbed attention with a hilarious new video that has gone viral on social media. In a recent advertisement, the couple teamed up for a playful game of cricket, filled with witty banter and unexpected rules. Known for their fun chemistry, the duo showed off their humorous side, and fans couldn’t stop laughing. In the video, Anushka confidently claims she can beat Virat in cricket but only if the game is played by her rules. She sets some funny conditions like, “If you miss the ball three times, you’re out”, and “If you lose your temper, you’re out”. The most amusing rule was that the person who hits the ball must go and bring it back, leaving Virat visibly puzzled but smiling.
As the match begins, Anushka announces, “The one who owns the bat will go first”, and takes the first turn. When Virat later bowls her out, she quickly dismisses it by saying, “That was just a practice ball”. These playful twists keep the mood light and entertaining throughout the ad. The video, posted on Anushka Sharma’s Instagram, was captioned “Lulu balling, lassi shots & a lot more”, and it instantly drew love and praise from fans and celebrities alike. The couple’s fun-loving energy was appreciated by many, with reactions pouring in from the likes of Samyuktha Hegde and Zoya Akhtar.
