Anushka Sharma, the wife of Indian batting sensation Virat Kohli, travelled to South Africa after a handful of her images went popular on social media. Anushka Sharma might probably be at the stadium to see her husband play in their upcoming game. Virat Kohli will most likely play the second Test versus the Proteas at Newlands in Cape Town.

Almost every India match throughout the ODI World Cup 2023, notably the semifinal and final, featured Anushka. The 35-year-old Bollywood star gave a stunning applause as Kohli secured an uncommon wicket in the One-Day International versus the Netherlands in Bengaluru. She simultaneously gave Kohli an embrace following India’s devastating loss in Ahmedabad during the 2023 World Cup.

In the first of the two Tests, South Africa crushed Team India by an innings and 32 runs. This inevitably ended any chance of India capturing their maiden Test series win in South Africa.

Thanks to the batting efforts of Marco Jansen, David Bedingham, and Dean Elgar, the Proteas were able to defeat their opponents in just one innings. With the ball, Kagiso Rabada as well as Nandre Burger shone as the hosts defeated Team India on Day 3.

“I don’t understand why Pujara has been left out” : Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh, the former spinner for India, feels that the country are regretting not including senior batsmen including Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. The Indians were defeated in the Centurion Test against the Proteas by an innings and thirty-two runs. Harbhajan believed that the visitors parted ways with Pujara without good cause. He asserted that they now lack a superior red-ball specialist than the latter.

The former Team India spinner said, “Didn’t select Ajinkya Rahane and have left Cheteshwar Pujara out for no reason. These are the two players who have scored runs everywhere. If you look at the previous record Pujara has the same contribution as Kohli had. I don’t understand why Pujara has been left out, we still don’t have a better batter than Pujara in Test cricket. He plays slowly but he saves you, because of him India won Test in Australia and England.”
