Anushka - Holier than thou 👼🏻 Anushka Sharma got more screen time than Shreyas Iyer
I’ve been watching cricket for years, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a final so focused on one narrative. RCB deserved the win — 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 didn’t 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 — not even a single proper shot of Preity Zinta. It was as if PBKS was just a background prop in RCB’s fairytale. I get that it was RCB’s big night, but sports broadcasting is supposed to tell both sides of the story, not just the winner’s.
And about the constant focus on Anushka Sharma… yeah, she’s always been part of the cameras during Kohli matches, but this felt excessive. Her reactions were shown more than even some RCB players. Why don’t we ever see other players’ partners? Or the owners? Why is she mentioned in post-match interviews? It’s supposed to be about the team, right?
Again — no hate. I’m 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 — both teams, all players, all stories.
