Anushka Sharma is often seen supporting Virat during his matches. She has been supporting him and the Indian team throughout the tournament. Virat Kohli reaches his half-century against Australia in the semi-final by hitting a four off Adam Zampa, and Anushka gave a standing ovation with claps for the one more milestone achieved by the batter. 

While batting first, Australia put up a total of 264 thanks to Steven Smith and Alex Carey’s half centuries. Smith scored 73 runs off 96 balls while Carey played attackingly with 61 runs off 57 balls, including 8 fours and 1 six. Mohammad Shami emerged as the most successful bowler for India with 3 wickets of Cooper Connolly, Steven Smith, and Nathan Ellis. Varun Chakravarthy and Ravindra Jadeja both took 2 wickets each, while Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel got 1 each. 

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill come to chase starts steadily, but both got out under the powerplay. Rohit scored 28 runs off 29 balls while Gill managed to score only 8 runs. However, Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli manage the inning ahead with a great partnership. 

At the time of writing India is on 158/3, Virat is looking solid with 60 not out off 68 balls and Axar Patel joins him in the middle after Shreyas got out on 45 runs to Zampa.
