IND vs NZ: Anushka's reaction on Virat Kohli's DRS decision goes viral

In the first semifinal of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, India and New Zealand are facing off. Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first. During India's batting, in the ninth over, Virat Kohli missed a ball from Tim Southee and was hit on his thigh pad. The Kiwis appealed for LBW, but the umpires ruled him as 'not out'.

The New Zealand skipper then opted for a review. After the review, it was clear that Kohli was not out. As the not-out signal flashed on the big screen, Kohli's wife Anushka Sharma was seen with a happy face celebrating Kohli's not-out decision, and it went viral.

Coming to the match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first. Opening the innings with Shubman Gill, Rohit faced the challenge of New Zealand's Trent Boult and Tim Southee with the new ball. Rohit, however, had other plans as he started the innings with a boundary off Trent Boult and continued to score boundaries and sixes, taking India to 60 runs in just seven overs. His aggressive batting set the tone for India's innings.

Thereafter, it was during the ninth over of the match, that pacer Tim Southee bowled a slower delivery that caught Rohit off guard. He mistimed his shot, and the ball soared high in the air. New Zealand captain Kane Williamson took a brilliant catch at mid-off, ending Rohit's explosive (47 off 29) knock. At the time of writing, India had scored 178 runs for the loss of one wicket in 25 overs. Shubman Gill had retired hurt after scoring 79 runs off 65 balls, while Virat Kohli was at the crease with 45 not out alongside Shreyas Iyer.

Going ahead in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 semi-final match, the Indian team will be looking to score in access of 350 on the Wankhede’s surface where batting is going to be challenging for the opposition in the second inning. Virat would be eying to break Sachin Tendulkar’s 49 ODI centuries record while Iyer would be eager to continue his brilliant form as none of the Kiwi bowlers have looked effective against them till now.
