NZ vs Ind: A video that has been doing the rounds on social media where Indian fans can be spotted motivating Virat Kohli by taking name of wife Anushka Sharma.
The Indian team are off to a scintillating start to their New Zealand tour as they whitewashed the visitors 5-0 in the T20I series.

India skipper Virat Kohli became the first India captain to win a T20I series in New Zealand. He also became the first Indian captain to lead the team to a whitewash win in T20Is over the Black Caps. Virat Kohli rested himself from the final T20I as Rohit Sharma took over the captaincy. But he too could not come out to the field after suffering a calf injury during his 60-run knock. KL Rahul then took charge of the team and led the team to victory.
Now, there's a video that has been doing the rounds on social media in which the Indian fans can be spotted motivating Virat Kohli by taking the name of his wife and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma. In the clip, a few Indian fans can be spotted chanting ‘Anushka Bhabhi Zindabad’ for motivating Virat Kohli.
