Virat Kohli should actually never fail if he really doesn't want to uncover his fans' colors! March 2nd, just another name, Arshad Khan became a soft target of slurs that will get beeped throughout if played on air. It has actually become a customary ritual, whenever he gets out. Sometimes fans get impulsive and abuse the wrong player also, as seen during his dismissal in his last outing at the Ranji Trophy against the Railways. And now, it is Arshad. His Instagram account has been flooded with abuses-—from calling Virat his "baap" to threatening him, how can he take the "king's" wicket! Well, there were fans who literally waited for the show! They also added some spices, asking why Arshad hasn't bowled him a full toss, and a few have instructed him to give back his wicket. Funny enough, some abuses somehow got dropped in actor Arshad Warshi's social media account as well. Here are some samples of Kohli fans!

In the second over, Arshad dismissed Virat Kohli with a shortish delivery on leg stump. Kohli attempted a pick-up pull but didn't execute it with full conviction—neither keeping it down nor getting enough elevation to clear the boundary. As a result, he ended up hitting it straight to the fielder at long leg, where Prasidh Krishna made no mistake with the catch. GT bowlers restrict RCB to 169 Gujarat Titans won the toss and opted to field first, putting Royal Challengers Bengaluru into bat. RCB struggled early on, losing Virat Kohli for just 7 runs as he mistimed a pull shot straight to Prasidh Krishna off Arshad Khan. Mohammed Siraj made an immediate impact, dismissing Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, and Liam Livingstone to end with figures of 3/19. Despite the setbacks, Livingstone played a counter-attacking knock of 54 off 40 balls, smashing five sixes. Jitesh Sharma contributed a quick 33 off 21 deliveries, while Tim David added a late flourish with 32 off 18 balls. However, Sai Kishore’s disciplined bowling (2/22) kept the pressure on, ensuring RCB could only manage 169/8 in their 20 overs. For GT, Rashid Khan had a rare off day, conceding 54 runs without a wicket. In contrast, Siraj led the bowling attack brilliantly, and Krishna and Kishore provided key breakthroughs. Now, with a target of 170, Gujarat Titans will look to chase it down efficiently.
