The Indian Premier League is as much about the drama off the field as it is about the action on it. The recent IPL 2025 fixture between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium was no exception. While the match itself was a nail-biter, what truly set social media abuzz was the presence of actor and influencer Avneet Kaur in the stands-a sight that sent fans and the internet into a frenzy, especially following her recent brush with a high-profile social media controversy involving Virat Kohli.
Avneet Kaur spotted at Wankhede Stadium
Avneet’s appearance at the Wankhede was anything but ordinary. Known for her vibrant on-screen persona and massive online following, she was spotted cheering enthusiastically for the Mumbai Indians during the high-stakes encounter. The cameras frequently panned to her, capturing her reactions as the match ebbed and flowed. For many fans, her presence was a highlight, with social media timelines quickly filling up with photos, videos, and memes dedicated to her stadium outing.
What amplified the buzz was the timing. Just days earlier, Avneet had found herself at the center of a social media storm when Kohli’s Instagram account was seen liking one of her photos. The incident sparked wild speculation and memes, prompting Kohli to issue a public clarification, attributing the interaction to an algorithmic glitch and urging fans not to jump to conclusions. Singer Rahul Vaidya’s satirical takes on the episode only added fuel to the fire, ensuring that Avneet’s every move was under the digital microscope.
GT edge past MI in a nail biter
The MI vs GT match itself was a thriller, with Gujarat Titans clinching victory on the very last ball in a rain-affected contest. But even as Shubman Gill’s captaincy and the dramatic finish grabbed headlines, Avneet’s presence continued to dominate online conversations. Her enthusiastic support for Rohit Sharma and the Mumbai Indians was widely noticed, with some fans even speculating about her cricket allegiances.
Social media was quick to react, with hashtags and posts celebrating Avneet’s appearance. Some fans joked about the “algorithm” bringing her to the stadium, while others simply enjoyed the spectacle of Bollywood-meets-cricket that IPL is known for. The incident underscored how the boundaries between sports, entertainment, and digital culture have blurred, making every IPL match a potential viral moment both on and off the field. In the end, while Gujarat Titans edged past Mumbai Indians by 3 wickets in a match for the ages.
