MI vs RCB: Too exciting game for a pregnant lady, says Anushka Sharma

New Delhi : Royal Challengers Bangalore had almost lost the game against Mumbai Indians on Monday, but they managed to push the game towards their side with a nail biting performance and a super over. After facing backlash for poor batting performance against Kings XI Punjab, Virat Kohli's team gave a befitting reply to the critics with a super batting performance against Mumbai.

RCB could have won the game easily, but Mumbai Indians' Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard took the game to a thrilling finish and both the teams scored same runs in designated 20 overs each. 

Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma took to Instagram to express her relief, saying the RCB vs MI encounter was "too exciting a game for a pregnant lady".
