'Rohit Bhai Ko Dekha Hai, Sunn Raha Hai Na Virat?' - CarryMinati's Comments Angers RCB Fans
A popular YouTuber has taken a jibe on Kohli [X.com]
Passionate fans of Virat Kohli felt disgusted and offended on behalf of the India and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) giant when YouTuber Carryminati took a sly dig at the legend for not clinching an Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy to date.
Doing a promotional show for host broadcasters Star Sports for IPL 2024, Carryminati, whose real name is 'Ajey Nagar', was seen mocking RCB and Kohli for lack of a trophy in their cabinet despite being part of the league since its inception back in 2008.
Even though RCB have reached an IPL final on three occasions, the Faf du Plessis-led side has never lifted the coveted title, which was part of Carryminati's joke with the reference made on Kohli and his dietary plans. The YouTuber said the great batter doesn't indulge in sweets purely because RCB have never given him the chance to.
Carryminati's Joke On RCB-Kohli Goes Wrong
On the Star Sports show, Carryminati is heard saying, "mujhe toh lagta hai Virat bhai ne meetha khana isilye chorra kyunki unhe celebrate karne ka mauka hi nahi milta (I feel the real reason why Virat quit sweets is because RCB have never given him the chance to celebrate)."
The joke unfortunately didn't go down well with the RCB and Kohli fans as they sent down a spree of offended tweets following the remarks and trolled the YouTuber, who seems to have associated with Star Sports for funny match-related content for IPL 2024.
Kohli has been the single biggest constant in RCB's journey and sad losing streak over the past 16 editions of the IPL. Despite producing bulk of RCB's runs every year since joining the franchise as a talented young U-19 cricketer in 2008, the legend hasn't tasted the ultimate success, something he will be determined to change in his 17th year with the team in IPL 2024.
