Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma briefly became the centre of attention during the final league match of IPL 2025—not for her presence alone, but for her stunned reaction to Rishabh Pant’s explosive hundred against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). As the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain launched a relentless assault at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium in Lucknow, the cameras caught Anushka visibly shocked in the stands.
Her reaction, with disbelief written all over her face, quickly took over social media, generating memes and viral clips that highlighted the unexpected twist of fate—Pant, a key India player, regaining form at the expense of her husband Virat Kohli’s team.
The internet was soon flooded with clips and memes capturing the irony and intensity of the moment.
Pant Ends Slump with Breathtaking Knock
Coming into this crucial clash, Pant had endured a disappointing campaign, scoring just 151 runs in the season with an average of 13.73. The Rs 27 crore signing had come under severe criticism, with questions raised about his future with the franchise. However, on Tuesday, Pant flipped the narrative in dramatic fashion. Batting first, LSG posted a daunting total of 227/3, powered by Pant’s unbeaten 118 off 54 deliveries.
This century marked Pant’s second in the IPL and his first since 2018. His innings featured 11 boundaries and nine sixes, scored at a brisk strike rate of 193.44. Notably, it was also the fastest hundred in LSG’s history, cementing his place in the record books once again.
Pant-Marsh Partnership Breaks RCB's Backbone
Mitchell Marsh provided early momentum with a quickfire 67 off 37 balls. The Australian’s knock laid the groundwork for a massive total, and his 152-run stand with Pant left RCB bowlers with no answers. Despite a few breakthroughs late in the innings, the visiting side struggled to contain the onslaught, as Pant accelerated further in the death overs, hammering boundaries at will.
His celebrations after the hundred—capped off by a perfectly executed somersault—added even more flair to his comeback.
With LSG putting up 227 on the board, RCB now face a massive challenge. The side needs to chase a record total at a venue where the highest successful run-chase has been 207. A win would have secured them a spot in Qualifier 1 against Punjab Kings, providing an extra shot at the final. But Pant’s return to form has complicated that route significantly.
