A series of star-studded photographs from Lord’s Cricket Ground sparked unexpected confusion and artificial intelligence rumours online this week, forcing Sophie Dhawan to personally clear up the mystery behind actor Anushka Sharma's outfit. The social media debate began after fans noticed a bizarre visual discrepancy in Sharma’s clothing across a carousel of images shared from a high-profile cricket outing. Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma and Ravi Shastri Spotted Supporting India Women at Lord's For AUS-W vs IND-W ICC T20 World Cup 2026 (Watch Video).

The initial buzz started when Sophie Dhawan posted photos on Instagram from her recent visit to the iconic London venue. She attended the ICC Women's T20 World Cup clash between India and Australia alongside her husband, former Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan.  The group was joined in the pavilion stands by Bollywood star Anushka Sharma, her husband and premier batter Virat Kohli, and former India head coach Ravi Shastri. While the high-profile gathering initially drew praise, fans quickly turned their attention to a confusing detail in the photos.

Followers noticed that in the first slide of the Instagram post—a selfie featuring Dhawan and Sharma the actor was clearly wearing a short blue dress. However, in a subsequent wide-angle group photo featuring the entire star-studded lineup, Sharma's same dress appeared significantly longer. The abrupt change in the hemline left fans bewildered, with many questioning if the image had been modified using generative AI tools or digital manipulation.
