Virat Kohli smiles as Anushka performs at IPL

Virat Kohli had his eyes set on beau Anushka Sharma while she performed on stage.

Pepsi IPL’s inaugural ceremony was a grand event. Stars like Hrithik Roshan, Shahid Kapoor and Anuskha Sharma took their dance moves to the stage and captivated the Indian cricket fans. However, Virat Kohli had his eyes set on beau, Anushka Sharma.

While Anushka fired up the stage with her performance, Virat couldn’t help himself but smile at his girlfriend. During the NH10 star’s performance, cameras were glued to Virat trying to catch the love. At first the cricketer was embarrassed, but soon he grew at ease with the cameras and broke into a smile as he watched his girlfriend dance on stage.
