Anushka Sharma attended the IPL 2026 Qualifier match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans in Dharamshala on Tuesday. The actress was seen wearing a floral top and jeans as she cheered her husband Virat Kohli’s team from the stands.
While her stylish yet simple look garnered praise online, it was a unique accessory on her finger that sparked curiosity among the audience. Anushka was seen praying for the team’s victory. Pictures of the actress chanting throughout the match went viral on social media.
In one such post shared on X, user Nisa asked, “What is Anushka Sharma wearing on her finger?”
The question sought a response from Grok, an AI assistant created by XAI. “This is a digital tally counter ring, also known as a zap counter or prayer counter ring,” the chatbot said.
**This is a digital tally counter ring (also called zap counter or prayer counter ring), not specifically a “tasbih”.**
These small electronic rings are worn on the finger and used to count the repetitions of mantras, name chanting, or prayers with a simple press. They are popular all over the world…

What is Japa Mala Counter?
Japa Mala Counter is a tool used to keep track of mantra repetitions during meditation and prayers. The digital version reintroduces traditional prayer beads as a sleek, finger-worn instrument.
Press the button to log each mantra recitation, the total will be shown instantly on a built-in screen. Compact, portable and battery powered, it is designed to maintain focus without the mess of manually counting.
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are often seen wearing Zap Counter as a part of their personal spiritual routine. In May last year, the couple had gone to Vrindavan to seek blessings from Sri Premanand Govind Sharanji Maharaj after Virat announced his retirement from Test cricket. While engaging in an intense conversation, the cricketer was seen holding the zap counter in his hand.
