Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli once again grabbed attention during their recent appearance at Lord’s Stadium, where they watched the India Women vs Australia Women match in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The couple looked relaxed as they enjoyed the game with friends from the cricket world, including former India head coach Ravi Shastri, former cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, and his wife Sophie Dhawan. While fans loved seeing Virat and Anushka together and praised their stylish appearance, it was Anushka’s outfit that unexpectedly became the biggest talking point on social media.
For the match, Anushka wore a simple yet elegant powder blue dress that perfectly suited the summer weather. Photos and videos of the couple quickly spread across social media, with many fans complimenting her fresh and effortless look. However, things took an interesting turn after Sophie Dhawan shared a group picture from the stadium on Instagram. In that photo, Anushka’s dress appeared much longer than it did in other pictures taken during the same outing. This small difference immediately caught the attention of eagle eyed fans, who began wondering if she had changed her outfit during the match or if something else was going on.

The confusion quickly became a trending topic in the comments section of Sophie Dhawan’s Instagram post. Many users asked how Anushka could be wearing what looked like a short dress in one picture and a full length dress in another. One comment that received a lot of likes asked, “How come Anushka is wearing a short dress in one photo and a long dress in the other photo?” As more people shared their own theories, the discussion continued to grow online.
Seeing the curiosity, Sophie Dhawan decided to clear up the confusion herself. She replied to one of the comments and explained that there was no outfit change at all. According to Sophie, the image had been taken from the ICC page and was simply stretched to fit the portrait format before being shared. This editing made the dress appear much longer than it actually was, creating the illusion that Anushka was wearing a different outfit. Her explanation quickly put an end to the online speculation.
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have been spending time in the United Kingdom after Royal Challengers Bengaluru won their second IPL title. Before leaving India, the couple also visited spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj to seek his blessings following RCB’s memorable championship victory. Even during a casual day at the cricket, the couple once again proved that every public appearance they make easily becomes a talking point among fans.
