Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifted the 2026 Women’s Premier League trophy after beating Delhi Capitals by six wickets, and Anushka Sharma quickly celebrated the win online. The actor praised the RCB Women side for creating history once more. Anushka, who is married to Virat Kohli, highlighted the moment with a short, enthusiastic message on social media.
The star shared how much the victory meant, given Virat Kohli leads the RCB men’s team in the Indian Premier League. Anushka has often expressed support for the franchise. The latest title win added another special chapter for the couple and for fans who closely follow both teams each season.
Anushka Sharma and RCB Women celebration
Anushka posted a celebratory message soon after the final. The Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi actor wrote, “RCB Women do it again. History, repeated.” The line mirrored the mood among supporters after the side secured another Women’s Premier League crown with a confident chase in the title clash.
The 2026 final, played at Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara, saw RCB defeat Delhi Capitals in a tense contest. RCB won by six wickets, sealing the match with a composed performance. With this result, the team claimed a second Women’s Premier League title, adding to the first championship secured in 2024.
Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli and RCB Women legacy
Anushka also re-shared a striking picture from Kotambi Stadium, calling attention to the historic night. The post came while reports circulated about Anushka possibly deepening ties with the franchise. Coverage suggested discussions were underway at ownership level, adding context to the timing of the social media tribute.
Virat Kohli joined the celebrations online and praised the squad and support staff. Virat wrote: “Champions again. Keeping the RCB flag flying high and something that each one of you can be Proud of. To smriti @smriti_mandhana and the whole squad and the management team, a big congratulations for this tremendous victory. You guys deserve this undoubtedly. Enjoy the moment and embrace the love of our amazing fans.”
RCB Women are now only the second side with two Women’s Premier League titles, after Mumbai Indians. The repeat triumph strengthens the team’s growing legacy in the competition. Their achievements have also increased attention on the structure, leadership, and long-term planning behind the Bengaluru-based franchise.
Anushka Sharma investment buzz and RCB Women success
Speculation around Anushka’s possible investment in Royal Challengers Bengaluru intensified last month. Reports claimed Anushka was considering buying a three per cent stake in the franchise. The proposed deal was said to be worth about Rs 400 crore, though no official confirmation had been issued by the team or the actor.
The move, if finalised, would link Anushka to RCB beyond public support and match-day posts. The actor has stepped back from frequent on-screen appearances to focus on children Vamika and Akaay. Any confirmed equity involvement would therefore hold emotional value for supporters of both RCB and Anushka.
| Team | Women’s Premier League titles | Years won |

| Mumbai Indians Women | 2 | Not specified |
On the professional front, Anushka had been expected to return to films with Chakda Xpress. The project, based on the life of India pacer Jhulan Goswami, was planned as a Netflix release. However, the film has reportedly been shelved, and there is no clarity on when Anushka will next appear on screen.
For now, Anushka’s presence around Royal Challengers Bengaluru remains through visible support and possible investment talks. The 2026 Women’s Premier League win has strengthened the team’s status and delighted fans. Anushka and Virat’s public reactions captured that shared joy, as RCB Women added another trophy to the cabinet.
