Virat Kohli blowing flying kisses to the crowd
But sometimes, Virat Kohli’s fans took it to the next level to take the side of their idol, which ended up hilariously well for the internet. In this blog, we will be taking a look at some of the crazy moments of the fans, such as when Virat Kohli had some funny moments or was dismissed by a player in the game.
During the Champions Trophy 2025, Virat Kohli had a successful campaign, scoring 218 runs for the Indian cricket team, which also included a century against Pakistan and a valuable 84 runs innings against Australia in the semi-finals. After winning the Champions Trophy, a dressing room video of the Indian cricket team went viral, where fans noticed Kohli attempting a bottle flip when the speech was being given to the players. Unfortunately, the bottle flip failed, but Bisleri faced consequences from Kohli fans. The locker room was filled with love and joy as the team was celebrating its remarkable and undefeated run in the Champions Trophy.
Take a look at the full clip of Virat Kohli attempting to make a bottle flip, thinking that his flip is not noticed by the cameras.
The comments posted by Virat Kohli’s fans were hilarious for everyone to watch and even Bisleri received a boost on its social media handles due to the same. Some of the funny comments made by the fans included comments such as King Kohli se Panga Nahi, Teri Itni Himmat ki Giri aur Giri toh utni nahi, Company Band Kar Jaldi, and various others. But their comments section was also filled with a few toxic Virat Kohli fans who abused the company following the failed bottle flip in a video.
The engagement rate of Bisleri’s social media handles was boosted, but Virat Kohli did not react to the same. However, Bisleri noticed the recent comments made by the fans, and they responded to them. The packaged drinking water company said that it’s not their bottle and if it had been of Bisleri, the bottle would have landed correctly. This response was definitely hilarious, and it caught the eye of various fans, who enjoyed this funny banter between Kohli fans and Bisleri on social media.
Another funny yet remarkable incident by Virat Kohli fans was during the Champions Trophy 2025 when India faced New Zealand in the Group Stage games. Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma lost their wickets early when India stepped out to bat first, as Gill got dismissed by scoring just 2 runs off 7 balls, and Rohit Sharma got out at the score of 15 runs off 17 balls. Virat Kohli stepped out to bat for the team at number three, and he was looking in good touch. Smashing boundaries against Matt Henry, Kohli had already scored two fours.
When he was going for the third boundary, Glenn Phillips took an astonishing catch, which shocked the fans and Kohli himself. Phillips, who is known for his flexibility and amazing fielding skills, was able to take Kohli’s wicket with the catch. His fans were disappointed with the wicket and went on looking for Glenn Phillips’s Instagram account. This has been one of the most common incidents for the fans whenever Kohli loses his wicket, but this time, it ended up being hilarious again.
Most of them did not know the full name of the player, so they went to Phillips’s Instagram account, which is an electronic company. Their comments section was filled with a few toxic fans, who became outrageous after Kohli’s wicket in an important game for the Indian cricket team. Although the emotions of the fans were not wrong, they targeted the wrong Phillips, as the electronics company had no link with his wicket in the game. This also helped the company to get a boost on its Instagram and other social media handles.
In the Test series against New Zealand in 2021, Virat Kohli was dismissed against Ajaz Patel in a controversial LBW given out by the third umpire. It was during the second and final Test of the series, and with the first match ending up in a draw, the Indian captain was eager for a win. India started off the game by batting first, as Mayank Agarwal and Shubman Gill gave an impressive 80-run opening partnership to the team. After Shubman Gill was dismissed at the score of 44 runs in 71 balls, Cheteshwar Pujara was sent to bat, but he also got out on a five-ball duck. Following his wicket, Virat Kohli came out to bat for the team at number four.
However, on his fourth delivery, Kohli was given LBW by the on-field umpire. He thought that the bat touched the ball, which caused him to take the same to the third umpire. But the contact of the ball with the bat was controversial, and even after having a close look at the same, the third umpire was convinced that Kohli was out.
Following this, Virat Kohli took out his frustration on the boundary rope and smashed his bat hard on it. At that time, SBI was printed on the boundary rope, as they were among the sponsors of the game. As fans watched Kohli smashing the boundary rope of SBI, the owners of its equity shares took action, as the company’s stock fell by a few rupees just the next day when Kohli showed his anger on the boundary rope.
Virat Kohli has one of the biggest fan bases in the Indian cricket team, which is clear by taking a look at the actions his fans are willing to take for the player. Although the actions discussed in this blog have been a bit hilarious, it also shows that the fans need to reduce their high affection for the player, as it affects the wrong individuals or companies. Supporting a player is great, but hating the ones who got their wickets is not what a perfect fan does.
