Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma was in a celebratory mood since Tuesday night, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ended their 18-year drought in the IPL by lifting their maiden trophy. The actress has been a supporter of the team since 2014, when she began dating cricketer Virat Kohli. The RCB victory celebrations were continued in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
