Virat's brother slams Rahul Vaidya [Source: AP Photo]
For the last few days, Virat Kohli has been in limelight, not for his batting prowess, but for his social media activity. The RCB star, not deliberately, liked a picture of TV actress, Avneet Kaur on Instagram and it created a stir amongst his fans and critics as the star batter was lambasted by many for it.
Kohli's brother comes to his defence against Rahul Vaidya
However, Kohli blamed the Instagram algorithm for un-intentionally liking the picture. The controversy didn't stop there as Singer, Rahul Vaidya jumped in and called Kohli and his fans "Joker". His unnecessary involvement sparked a huge debate on social media with Kohli fans going after the Singer and his family.
Now, Virat's brother, Vikas Kohli jumped in and thrashed the Singer for his rude remarks on his brother at a time when the nation is going through a turmoil (IND-PAK War Scenario).
This statement came after Rahul Vaidya's controversial video where he called Kohli a joker for blocking him on Instagram. The India and RCB star hasn't responded yet on the matter, but his brother came to his defence. This was not the first time Vikas Kohli defended Virat. A few days earlier, he slammed Sanjay Manjrekar after the commentator questioned RCB batters' strike-rate in the IPL.
Kohli performing exceptionally well in IPL 2025
The Royal Challengers are at second place in points table and the majority of the credit goes to Kohli's exceptional form.
In 11 matches he has slammed 505 runs, at a strike-rate of 143.47, including 7 half-centuries, and all of them coming in winning cause. He is in the Orange Cap race and will next be seen in action Vs Lucknow Super Giants on Friday.
