Anushka Sharma’s reaction to Rishabh Pant’s century celebration has gone viral on social media. Pant scored his explosive hundred against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Tuesday.
Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant scored his second IPL century at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. He celebrated his stunning hundred by performing a front flip on the field.
In LSG’s final league match, their captain produced an outstanding comeback. He smashed a 54-ball century to take LSG to a massive total of 227. His unbeaten 118-run innings featured 11 fours and 8 sixes.
As Rishabh Pant celebrated his moment, the cameras caught Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma in the stands. Her reaction to Pant’s performance quickly took over social media. Fans were quick to post clips and create memes of the ironic situation, Pant recovering from poor form against her husband Virat Kohli’s team.
Lucknow spent a huge sum of INR 27 crore to secure Rishabh Pant at the 2025 IPL mega auction. But the star batter had struggled to make an impact with the bat for most of the season. His poor form drew criticism, especially considering his high price tag.
However, Pant silenced his critics during the match against RCB on Tuesday, delivering a sensational performance. Batting at No. 3, he reached his hundred in just 54 balls. In the 18th over, he smashed a full delivery from RCB pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar over the cover boundary. His knock featured 10 boundaries and 6 sixes.
Celebrating the milestone, Pant took off his gloves and wowed the crowd with a front flip. He finished his IPL season with an unbeaten 118 off 61 balls, hammering 11 fours and 8 sixes. Mitchell Marsh also played a key role, contributing a rapid 67 off 37 deliveries at the other end.
