Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma share flying kisses after RCB's IPL 2025 record win

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) achieved a historic milestone in IPL 2025 by winning all seven of their away matches, becoming the first team to remain unbeaten on the road in a season with a home-and-away format.

In a thrilling encounter against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), RCB chased down a daunting target of 228 runs with 8 balls to spare, securing a six-wicket victory. Jitesh Sharma was the star performer, remaining unbeaten on 85 off just 33 deliveries, including a massive 89-meter six over midwicket that turned the game.

The match was not without controversy, as a run-out attempt on Jitesh Sharma was overturned by the third umpire based on Law 38.3, which states the bowler must remove the bails before the highest point of their delivery swing. Replays showed the bowler had completed his action before dislodging the bails, leading to the 'not out' decision.

RCB's victory propelled them to second place on the points table, setting up a Qualifier 1 clash against table-toppers Punjab Kings.

The match's conclusion was marked by a heartwarming moment between RCB captain Virat Kohli and his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma. Watching from the stands, Anushka celebrated the win by exchanging flying kisses with Kohli, who blew kisses back to her, sharing smiles in a touching display of support.

"Virat Kohli blew kisses towards Anushka Sharma, who was watching the match in the stands. Anushka too blew kisses and kept watching Virat with a smile."

This victory not only cements RCB's strong position in the tournament but also highlights the personal joy shared by one of cricket's most celebrated couples. Kohli and Sharma, married for over seven years and parents to daughter Vamika, continue to be a beloved duo both on and off the field.

RCB's unbeaten away record and their spirited chase against LSG underscore their formidable form heading into the playoffs, making them a team to watch in IPL 2025.
