Virat Kohli takes maiden ODI World Cup wicket, Anushka Sharma's joyous laughter touches hearts

Actress Anushka Sharma's celebration at the stands after her husband Virat Kohli picked up the wicket of Scott Edwards during a World Cup clash between India and Netherlands on Sunday has gone viral over the internet.

Anushka burst into celebration as soon as Kohli clinched a wicket after a gap of nine years.

This was his maiden ODI World Cup wicket.

KL Rahul also caught Edwards brilliantly behind the wicket to ensure Kohli gets a wicket.

Kohli also contributed with the willow and added 51 runs in the match.

Shreyas Iyer (128* off 94) and KL Rahul (102 off 64) lighted up the stadium by hammering sparkling centuries on Diwali night which helped India to post a massive 410/4 against the Netherlands at Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday.

The fans had flocked to the stadium to witness Virat Kohli (51 off 56) to get to the record-breaking 50th ODI century at his IPL home, but managed to get a well-crafted half-century instead.

However, Bengaluru boy Iyer filled the shoes of Kohli as he belted the fastest century for India in World Cups.

He reached the milestone in 62 balls, a ball-less faced by Rohit Sharma.
