    What did Anushka Sharma tell Virat Kohli before he went out to bat today? "Virat, I want you here in 5 minutes." :D #CWC15 #AUSvsIND

    So much so that "Anushka" remained in India's top 10 Twitter trends for hours after the end of the match.

    C'mon guys, not cool.

    Thankfully, several people flew to Anushka Sharma's defense soon after the trend picked up.

    #AnushkaSharma came to support #ViratKohli and not to PLAY instead of him! Why blame her always? Can't @imVkohli have a bad cricket day?

    Two weeks ago, in an NDTV interview, Sharma criticised the way hers and Kohli's relationship is perceived.
