Although Royal Challengers Bengaluru had won the IPL 2026 trophy, some fans will remember that night for a moment that happened after the game ended.
As celebrations erupted following RCB’s title-winning victory against the Gujarat Titans, all eyes quickly turned to Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, who once again proved why they remain one of India’s most loved celebrity couples. The couple has been one of the most adored couples in India for many years, so it makes sense that they would be an attraction for both fans and the media.
The videos from the post-game celebration of the RCB franchise have been widely spread through social media; in the video, fans were amazed to see the intimacy between the couple as they danced with their teammates and friends. The love that they clearly feel for each other and their overall chemistry, effortless energy, and genuine happiness instantly became one of the biggest talking points online.
Virat was very emotional throughout the celebration of RCB’s great win and had a lot of intensity during the winning period. However, once the formal parts of the event had ended, the cricketer traded intensity for celebration mode. The most viral moment featured Virat and Anushka dancing together and celebrating while the crowd cheered around them. Fans began to comment on social media about how they were “couple goals” and how much happiness they brought to the win experience.
Adding to the buzz was Virat’s celebratory T-shirt that read, “One felt nice, we did it twice,” a fun way of referring to RCB winning back-to-back IPL championships, which quickly became a favourite throughout the fan community. The phrase quickly became a fan favourite, with screenshots and memes circulating across platforms within hours.
Anushka, meanwhile, was every bit the proud partner. She was often seen throughout the year in various photos and videos showing her encouraging RCB from the stands. After the RCB victory, Anushka was seen sharing emotional moments with Virat following the match, which struck a chord with many fans. The couple interacted with one another in many ways after the match, such as with kisses, hugs, and dancing, all of which added a personal aspect to RCB’s victory.
What makes these moments so special is how natural they feel. Despite being among the most photographed personalities in the country, Virat and Anushka continue to connect with fans through simple, genuine displays of affection and support.
RCB may have won the trophy, but if social media reactions are anything to go by, Virat and Anushka won the internet.
