Anushka magic fails to make Kohli click

When Anushka Sharma, Indian actress and the ladylove of Virat Kohli, reached Sydney Cricket Ground to cheer her beau in the India-Australia semi-final match today, Indian fans had reasons to believe the star batsman would dazzle with his bat. But reality did not match the expectation.

In a day when India badly needed the team's vice captain to click while chasing hosts Australia's, Kohli had to return for just one run playing 13 balls.

Kohli attempted to pull Mitchell Johnson's third ball in the 16th over, which pitched outside the off stump. He sent a lusty blow straight up, giving a catch to Haddin.

According to Indian newspaper Indian Express, Anushka was seen cheering for Kohli from the SCG stands.

"Anushka's presence at the SCG surely happens to be one of the most awaited appearances at the Cricket World Cup and has further electrified the air around this second semi-final," the Express report reads.

Reportedly, Anushka was also spotted dining with Virat at an Indian restaurant a couple of nights back. It was rather hush-hush and the two kept a low-profile to avoid the paparazzi, added the report.
