Did Virat Kohli Sledge Musheer Khan With 'Yeh Paani Pilata Hai'? Fact Check
Last Updated: Virat Kohli faced criticism for allegedly sledging Musheer Khan with 'Ye paani pilata hai' during the 2025 IPL Qualifier 1 against Punjab Kings. Royal Challengers Bangalore star Virat Kohli drew criticism for an alleged inappropriate remark towards young Musheer Khan during the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) Qualifier 1 against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on Thursday. Kohli was seen gesturing something when 20-year-old Musheer walked out to bat on his IPL debut in the Qualifier 1 as an Impact substitute. As he entered the field, Kohli was reportedly seen calling him a 'water-boy', referencing Musheer having carried drinks to teammates a few overs earlier. This incident triggered considerable debate on social media. Some fans on social media alleged that Kohli referred to Musheer as a 'waterboy", purportedly saying ' Ye paani pilata hai" ('This guy carries drinks") as the youngster prepared to face his first delivery. आप ये विडियो देखो इसमें जब मुशीर खान बैटिंग करने आता है तो कोहली उसकी ओर इशारा करते हुये कहता है की ये तो पानी पिलाता है ।मैं इसलिए कोहली को अपनी झां#ट के बाल के बराबर नहीं समझता #PBKSvsRCB — VINIT( यदुवंश ) (@VinitYaduvnsh) May 30, 2025 'Did anyone else notice the (probable) lip-sync and gestures from Virat Kohli when Musheer Khan was taking guard? If true, that's surprising even by his own standards. Definitely not the best demeanour from a 'legend of the game'," a fan wrote on X. 'Virat Kohli clearly gesturing 'Ye Paani pilata hai' towards youngster Musheer Khan in today's match of RCB vs PBKS tells a lot about why the RCB fanbase is the most toxic one when the idol himself is a troller. Never put him in the respectful league of MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar, I repeat, never," another fan wrote. Fans suggested Kohli was 'abusing' the Punjab Kings youngster by calling him a 'water boy', but some of Kohli's supporters defended him, highlighting that he had gifted Musheer one of his bats earlier in the season. Some also noted that Musheer idolises Virat as a batter. 20-year-old Musheer failed to do much with the bat and got out for a three-ball duck. He was trapped in front of the wickets by Suyash Sharma on the fifth ball of the ninth over. But in the second half of the match, which PBKS lost by 8 wickets, Musheer picked up one wicket for 27 runs in his quota of two overs. First Published: May 30, 2025, 09:01 IST

Captain Virat Kohli Returns During Qualifier 1 Vs PBKS, Video Goes Viral
Last Updated: Rajat Patidar led Royal Challengers Bengaluru to an eight-wicket victory over the Punjab Kings. Ace India batter Virat Kohli was on Thursday seen leading the Royal Challengers Bengaluru for a certain duration against the Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2025, a video of which has gone viral on social media. RCB won the match by eight wickets to seal their spot in the finals. While Rajat Patidar may have been the skipper on paper, it was Kohli who wore the authority, and he looked quite confident while setting the fields and instructing bowlers on how they could get the better of Punjab batters. Whether it was directing cricketers in the field, repositioning them with pointed orders or offering tactical inputs to bowlers, Kohli's presence impacted Bengaluru's masterclass on the field in the first innings. Watch the video here: Punjab's ultra-aggressive approach backfired as they couldn't negotiate the tricky pitch, which offered movement and bounce. Bengaluru, who are yet to win the Indian Premier League despite reaching three finals since the league's inception 17 years back, gunned down the small target in the 10th over, thanks to an aggressive half-century from opener Phil Salt. Salt ended up smacking six boundaries and three sixes, including a crisp pull off the star India pacer Arshdeep Singh. Salt had gotten out to the Punjab pacer twice earlier this season and asked what was going on in his mind during the chase, he said, 'Don't get out to Arshdeep, we played 2 group games (with PBKS) and he's found different ways to get me out, so was just trying to react to the ball." The game ended when Bengaluru captain Patidar smacked Musheer Khan for a six. Punjab were blown away by RCB but Kyle Jamieson got the home crowd going for a small period by bowling a brilliant wicket maiden that included the wicket of Kohli. RCB will next play either Punjab, Gujarat Titans or the Mumbai Indians in the final on June 3 in Ahmedabad. Watch CNN-News18 here.

Relief for cancer patient's son as SG to fund fees
New Delhi: A cancer patient, undergoing a financially draining prolonged treatment, had petitioned Delhi High Court after Canara Bank refused to provide an additional loan of Rs 10 lakh, over and above the Rs 55 lakh education loan already released, to his son to enable him to complete his master's degree in business analytics from a New York university. The bank refused citing RBI guidelines which hold that a bank cannot disburse the entire loan amount (in this case it was Rs 58 lakh) without taking 15% margin money when the loan is for studies abroad. The father, whose vocal cord was removed during the treatment, had already kept his Rohini DDA flat as collateral for availing the loan for his son, who needed to deposit the last fee tranche of Rs 10 lakh to get his degree. Justice Vikas Mahajan appointed senior advocate Nalin Kohli as amicus curiae to help resolve the financial tangle that left the cancer patient emotionally exhausted and jeopardised the prospect of his son getting the degree for which they had already spent a fortune. The father told Kohli that Rs 2 lakh was the maximum he could arrange. Kohli promised to contribute another Rs 2 lakh. But that was not enough, leaving everybody frustrated. Kohli, distraught that his first assignment as amicus curiae could not bring relief to the father and son, confided his disappointment in solicitor general Tushar Mehta when the two happened to meet in the Supreme Court corridors. No sooner had he finished narrating the family's ordeal that Mehta volunteered to fund the Rs 10 lakh that the boy, Puneet Singh, needed to collect his degree. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2 ingredientes para remover as manchas na pele Conselhos E Truques Undo "Mehta empathised with the family and said he understood that even arranging Rs 2 lakh was going to be a grim struggle for the cancer patient and, therefore, he would pay the entire bill," Kohli said. This has cleared the way for Puneet to complete his master's programme at Hofstra University, New York. When Kohli informed the HC of the development, Justice Mahajan recorded Mehta's contribution and the help rendered by the amicus and the bank's counsel Garima Jain before disposing of the petition.

Jalandhar: With its Jalandhar Central MLA Raman Arora still in the custody of vigilance bureau in a corruption case, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has inducted Jalandhar-based industrialist Nitin Kohli into the party and appointed him as the legislative constituency's in-charge. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now During the induction, AAP Punjab affairs in-charge Manish Sisodia emphasised that Kohli had been helping the party from the start and he was now "formally joining" the party. "Our own MLA (Raman Arora) broke the trust of people and he did a few things due to which the govt had to take action. When the state govt and vigilance bureau got information about his wrongdoings, they quickly took action," he said. "This shows AAP does not spare even its own if they indulge in corruption. " AAP state president Aman Arora and state working president Sherry Kalsi were also present. "Kohli has been already showing leadership qualities. Now he will open an office in the constituency and serve people," Sisodia said. Sisodia claimed that Kohli's joining was a manifestation of trust being expressed by industrialists, businessmen, and traders in AAP and the state govt. "This expression of trust shows the atmosphere in Punjab is good," he said. Kohli added that anti-corruption agencies in Punjab had a free hand. On his part, Kohli said after Lovely Professional University chancellor Ashok Mittal and Sanjeev Arora, both Rajya Sabha members, joined AAP, industrialists started having great faith in AAP and now it is increasing. On the occasion, several industrialists and businessmen from Jalandhar were present. This is the first instance in which AAP has appointed a constituency in-charge after an MLA was arrested on corruption charges. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Such a drastic step was not taken after arrest of Mansa MLA and former health minister Vijay Singla and Bathinda Rural MLA Amit Ratan Kotfatta, who were also held under corruption charges, and they continue to function in their constituencies. Arora's VB custody extended by 4 days AAP MLA from Jalandhar Central seat Raman Arora was produced in a court here on Thursday and remanded in the custody of vigilance bureau for another four days. He was brought to court on the completion of his previous five-day custody of VB. Arora's counsel opposed the extension in VB custody, and arguments took place for around an hour. The VB informed the court that some other complainants came to them against Arora. MC building branch official arrested A woman inspector of Jalandhar municipal corporation's building branch has also been arrested by the vigilance bureau. Earlier, ATP Sukhdev Vashisht's arrest had led to the arrest of AAP MLA Raman Arora. The arrested inspector was brought to civil hospital on Thursday night for a medical examination.

Did Virat Kohli Insult Musheer Khan? RCB Star's 'Paani Pilata Hai' Act Triggers Debate. Watch
Virat Kohli was like a man possessed in the field as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) took on the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Though RCB skipper Rajat Patidar had returned to lead the side, taking over the captaincy responsibility from his deputy Jitesh Sharma, it was Kohli who was found setting the field for the team in the first few overs. The 36-year-old didn't just plot inch-perfect strategies in the middle but also uplifted everyone with his energy and passion on the field. Known to wear his heart on his sleeve, Virat also didn't miss any opportunity to sledge PBKS batters. In fact, as Punjab used Musheer Khan as an Impact Substitute, after an entire top and middle-order collapse, Kohli sledged him relentlessly. Musheer, who is the brother of India's Test batter Sarfaraz Khan, made his IPL debut in the Qualifier 1 as an Impact substitute. As he arrived on the field, Virat was spotted calling him a 'water-boy', who had come in to deliver water to his teammates a few overs ago. The act from the RCB stalwart triggered a huge debate on social media. Do you agree with this lines trending?? 'Virat Kohli Insulting Indian player saying "sending Water bottle player to play" worst behaviour what a cheap cricketer shameless creature.' #RCBvsPBKS #ViratKohli | Trophy | Finals | RCB RCB | Congratulations RCB| INTO THE FINALS — IndiaPulse: News & Trends (@IndiaPulseNow) May 30, 2025 Kohli saying "Ye to Pani pilata hai" to young Musheer Khan. Kohli is such a creep and shameless person. — RISHIT SHARMA (@Rishit_264) May 29, 2025 A section of fans suggested that Kohli was 'abusing' the Punjab Kings youngster by calling him a 'water boy'. The RCB icon's fans defended him, highlighting the fact that Kohli had gifted Musheer one of his bats earlier in the season. Some also pointed out the fact that Musheer idolises Virat as a batter. Kohli literally gifted him his bat, and Musheer calls him bhaiya. Kohli has every right to tease his younger brother. Don't you guys tease your younger brothers Stop spreading false agendas ffs — . (@chixxreturns) May 29, 2025 What happened on the field, including the gestures and words used by Virat, was only a matter of cricketing affairs. In a match as high-profile as Qualifier 1, players do try to get under the skin of opponents. With Musheer being PBKS' last recognised batter, Kohli tried to use all the tricks in his hat to put his team in absolute control.
