The match yesterday between the two resulted in a nail-biting finish with several ups and downs for both the teams during the course. While India’s win was all hunky-dory, what grabbed attention was a gesture from the Indian team captain Virat Kohli that is currently being praised as a true masterclass.

A section of the audience was apparently shouting cheater to Australian player Steve Smith while he was fielding at the deep end. The Aussie cricketer had been involved in a ball-tampering episode last year that followed with him being banned for a year. Virat, being the good sportsman that he is, asked his fans to stop chanting the word cheater at Steve and instead clap for him. And this gesture won hearts and also the likes of his wife and actress Anushka Sharma. The Zero actress shared a snippet of news on her Instagram story saying, “Aggressive player, benevolent man – so easy to love.” If this isn’t couple goals, then what is.
