After RCB lost their recent match, the usual noise started online — people blaming Anushka Sharma. Some called her Bad omen, others said she’s a “bad influence” on Virat Kohli.
Yes, it’s ridiculous. But this kind of trolling still happens in 2025. And it’s not just unfair — it’s plain nonsense.

Anushka Sharma was at the stadium to support her husband — like any partner would. She didn’t pick the playing XI. She didn’t drop any catches. She didn’t tell Kohli how to bat.
Yet some fans acted like she was the reason RCB lost. As if her being there somehow jinxed the team. The hate poured in from all over social media.

We’ve seen this before. During World Cups, IPL seasons, and even random games — if Kohli doesn’t perform or if India loses, trolls suddenly start pointing fingers at Anushka.
Why? Because she’s visible? Because people think a man’s failure must be a woman’s fault?

It’s a lazy and harmful mindset — and it keeps coming back no matter how many times it’s called out.
Some try to sound smart by saying Anushka influences Kohli’s mindset. But let’s be real — he’s a grown man, a world-class athlete, and a professional. His mindset is his own responsibility.
Blaming his wife for how he plays on the field isn’t analysis — it’s just passing the buck.
This kind of behavior drives players away. If fans keep dragging family members into every loss, don’t be surprised if players stop engaging with the public altogether.
Kohli has defended Anushka before. And if fans keep this up, he might just stop listening to them at all.
You can be upset with your team losing. You can criticize poor form or bad decisions. That’s part of the game.
But blaming someone’s partner? That’s going too far. It’s time fans grew up and stopped acting like superstitions decide match results. Support your team — don’t embarrass them.
