With a massive total of 469 put up by the Australian team for India to play, the cricket fans of the neighbouring country majorly had their hopes set on the star batter Kohli, following the early dismissals of openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, as well as No. 3 batter Cheteshwar Pujara.
However, far from the much-expected century, Kohli walked back to the pavilion with a meagre 14 off 31 balls, leaving not only his fans but also his wife, Sharma dejected over the untimely dismissal.

Soon after the clip of Sharma’s expression made its way to social media, many social users were quick to call out the actor and blame her for bringing bad luck to Kohli and the Indian cricket team.
However, the loyal fans were by her side and defended the ‘Sui Dhaaga’ actor saying the families of the cricketers should not be blamed for their performance.
