RJ Mahvash shares new video with Yuzvendra Chahal after Champions trophy win; Virat Kohli runs up to hug Anushka Sharma as India defeats New Zealand

Virat Kohli hugs Anushka Sharma, does a thumka

Virat and Anushka were seen hugging each other right after the win, and there was also a cute video of him doing a mini-thumka while holding her close. Them sharing a bottle of water, and having smiles plastered all over their faces was one of the highlights of the post-match celebrations that also included other cricketers bringing their families to the middle, and taking photos and giving video bytes. While the on-field expression of love was heartwarming, the showcase of love and pride via social media was beautiful too.

Athiya Shetty celebrates KL Rahul’s win

KL Rahul, who had a brilliant tournament, found his constant source of encouragement and support from home as his wife and actor Athiya Shetty shared a wish for the cricketer, and used his own post-match press interaction line, “At the end, I was sh&*ting myself.”

During the match in Dubai, we had celebrities like Vivek Oberoi in attendance. The Saathiya actor, who has settled down in Dubai, was sitting a row ahead of Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash. This added fuel to the speculations that Chahal, who is rumoured to have divorced Dhanashree Verma, is now dating Mahvash. However, when such speculations surfaced in December last year, Mahvash had said, “Some articles and speculations have been circulating around the internet. It’s literally funny to see how baseless these rumours are. If you get seen with a person of the opposite gender, does it mean you are dating them? I’m sorry, what year is this? I won’t let any PR teams drag my name to cover up other people’s images. Let people live in peace with their friends and family during tough times.”

Leaving these aside, Vivek Oberoi’s heartwarming question to Yuzvendra about India’s chances at the innings break, was answered with a ‘We will definitely win,’ and that’s exactly what happened in this closely contested match worthy of a Champions Trophy final.

Who is RJ Mahvash?

The Aligarh-born social media influencer is also an RJ and budding actor. She is supposed to make her acting debut in an Amazon mini series. She is known for her prank videos and relatable content on social media.

After the India vs New Zealand match, she also shared a video with Yuzvendra and wrote, “Kaha tha na jita ke aungi😝😍 I am good luck for team India (I said I will return after Ihelp India win. I am good luck for Team India)!.”
