Virat Kohli Faces Backlash Over Comment to Young PBKS Player

RCB beat PBKS in Qualifier 1 at Mullanpur.

Virat starred with a strong game. But a moment with Musheer Khan sparked debate.

During PBKS’s innings, Musheer Khan came in as Impact Player. Moments earlier, he was seen carrying drinks.

As Musheer Khan came in to bat, Virat Kohli said, “He was serving water, now he’s batting.” The clip went viral. Fans slammed Virat for mocking Musheer. Some called it disrespectful and harsh.

Others defended Virat Kohli, saying it was just friendly banter. He had gifted Musheer a bat earlier this season. Still, questions remain: Was it playful or poor sportsmanship? With the IPL Final near, Kohli remains under the spotlight.
