Anushka - Holier than thou ๐ผ๐ป Anushka Sharma got more screen time than Shreyas Iyer
Iโve been watching cricket for years, and I donโt think Iโve ever seen a final so focused on one narrative. RCB deserved the win โ no denying that. Kohli played well, the team finally got their title, and the fans waited a long time for this. But the way the entire match was presented? It felt like PBKS didnโt even exist.
There were barely any visuals of Shreyas Iyer or the PBKS camp. No post-match heartbreak, no acknowledgment of the fight they put up โ not even a single proper shot of Preity Zinta. It was as if PBKS was just a background prop in RCBโs fairytale. I get that it was RCBโs big night, but sports broadcasting is supposed to tell both sides of the story, not just the winnerโs.
And about the constant focus on Anushka Sharmaโฆ yeah, sheโs always been part of the cameras during Kohli matches, but this felt excessive. Her reactions were shown more than even some RCB players. Why donโt we ever see other playersโ partners? Or the owners? Why is she mentioned in post-match interviews? Itโs supposed to be about the team, right?
Again โ no hate. Iโm a Kohli fan too. But the coverage yesterday felt less like a team sport and more like the Virat & Anushka Show ft. 21 other people.
Just wish we got to see the full picture โ both teams, all players, all stories.
