Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma set social media on fire with their adorable PDA after India’s big win at the Champions Trophy final on 9th March 2025 in Dubai. The star Indian batsman and the ‘Sui Dhaaga’ actress were seen hugging, giggling, and chatting with other cricketers and their families on the field. But one small moment between them caught the eyes of Virushka fans and quickly became the talk of the internet.
During one special moment that caught the attention of many Virushka fans, Virat showed an adorable gesture by opening a bottle of what appeared to be either water or sparkling water and handing it to Anushka. The ‘Sultan’ actress drank it casually, and then Virat took another bottle, with both of them sipping together while chatting. Fans adored this sweet moment. It quickly went viral. Few fans were quick to decode the deeper meaning behind Virat’s small yet sweet gesture.
Some connected it to Anushka’s past words about romance. In a 2020 interview with Grazia India, Anushka had shared her idea of romance, saying, “For me, it’s the little things, just being attentive, being caring. If I am struggling to open a water bottle, without me realising, just take it from me, open it, and give it back to me very nonchalantly while watching TV. I think these little things are way more romantic than big romantic gestures. I think just being a little attentive to one another by loving and caring and being supportive is enough, and there is nothing more romantic than having a partner like that, and I am glad that I do have one.”
Fans realized that Virat had done exactly what Anushka had described as romantic, showing just how well he understands and cherishes her.
The second connection fans made was from Anushka’s heartfelt post after India’s 2024 T20 World Cup win against South Africa. She wasn’t present at the match, but she dedicated a loving post to Virat on social media, writing, “AND… I love this man @virat.kohli. So grateful to call you my home—now go have a glass of sparkling water for me to celebrate this!” Fans linked this past moment to the recent Champions Trophy win, where Anushka was finally present to celebrate with Virat.
The fact that they both drank water together after the match felt like a sweet and full-circle moment. Whether it was sparkling water or just plain water, their gesture melted hearts.
