Anushka Sharma is often seen cheering loudly for her husband, Virat Kohli , during IPL matches. But she isn’t alone in the stands. There is usually a woman sitting right next to her, catching the eyes of many cricket fans. People have been curious, who is this woman sitting beside Anushka Sharma during the IPL games?

Fans want to know: Who is she?

During one of RCB’s recent matches, social media exploded with questions. Viewers couldn’t help but notice the woman sitting beside Anushka. They turned to AI tools like Grok and Perplexity, flooding them with searches like “Who is she?” and “Who is the woman next to Anushka?”
Surprisingly, the answers they got weren’t quite right. Some responses guessed it was Virat’s sister-in-law Bhawna Kohli. Others suggested it was Harbhajan Singh ’s wife Geeta Basra . But it turns out, she’s neither of them.


Anushka Sharma’s friend: Malvika Nayak
According to Hindustan Times, the woman sitting next to Anushka is her good friend Malvika Nayak. They have been friends for a long time and often go to cricket matches together. Sometimes, they even go on double dates with their husbands.
Malvika was also seen at the recent match between Lucknow Super Giants and RCB. During that game, she was spotted mouthing the word ‘stupid’ at Rishab Pant’s somersault celebration after his century, which got some attention.
