Virat Kohli defended in Musheer Khan ‘ye paani pilaata hai' row: ‘Even if he plays with his own baby, he would…'
Virat Kohli was caught in the middle of a huge storm after a video clip went viral in which he was seemingly seen sledging Punjab Kings' young batter Musheer Khan during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 Qualifier 1. The RCB legend was seen trying to get under the skin of the Mumbai batter. However, the choice of words did not go down well with fans on social media as they criticised the former India captain for trying to intimidate a young batter. Former India pacer Atul Wassan has now commented on the incident, saying things like these can happen on the cricket field. He even joked that Virat would be the same aggressive character if he were playing the sport against his own kids. When Musheer Khan walked out to bat in the ninth over of the PBKS innings, Kohli, who was positioned at first slip, referred to how the right-handed batter had been serving drinks for Punjab Kings in IPL 2025. In the video clip, Kohli was heard saying, 'Yeh paani pilaata hai. (He serves water).' Some fans also tried to come to the aid of Kohli, saying the RCB batter did not insult Musheer as he was just alluding to the fact that Musheer was acting as a water boy minutes before coming out to bat as an impact sub. It must be mentioned that this claim cannot be verified independently by Hindustan Times. However, Wassan said things like this are part and parcel of the game as everyone is equal on the cricket field. 'Virat has a competitive nature; even if he plays with his own baby, he would like to win. One should not feel bad about it. When you are playing the game, consider yourself equal, and don't expect an inch, nor give an inch,' Wassan said on the OTTplay 'Bails and Banter' show. The former India pacer Wassan also said that sledging is a part of the game and people should be allowed to express their emotions as long as they are not going overboard. 'If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. If someone is doing it within the line, it's fine. Sledging is a mixture of sarcasm, wit and being obnoxious,' said Wassan. 'Of course, there should be no physical confrontation, but certain gestures should not be misinterpreted, which entirely depends on the match officials. You have to let people express themselves within the limits,' he added. It must be mentioned that earlier in the IPL 2025 season, Virat Kohli gifted one of his bats to Musheer Khan after the league-stage match between Punjab Kings and RCB. Earlier, RCB defeated Punjab Kings by eight wickets in Qualifier 1 to reach the IPL 2025 final. However, PBKS have another chance of reaching the final as they will take on Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Nasser Hussain says Dinesh Karthik is going to be ‘unbearable' if Royal Challengers Bengaluru win maiden IPL title
As Rajat Patidar hit Musheer Khan's delivery for a six to close the famous win for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Punjab Kings, the joy among the supporters in Mullanpur and the RCB dugout was quite visible. Since 2016, it is the first time RCB has reached the final of the Indian Premier League. Overall, it is the fourth time in the franchise's history. However, the franchise is yet to win silverware. Once again this season, too, they have had their fair share of issues playing in home conditions, but on the contrary, they have been the best team on the road, winning seven games in seven, which is a first time in the history of the tournament as well. Dinesh Karthik, who played the role of finisher for the franchise, has been made the batting coach this season. 'RCB have got through to the finals. If they win that, DK is going to be unbearable. One season as coach/mentor and he's won it,' Hussain said in jest on the Sky Sports Podcast in a humorous tone. 'He's unbearable at the best of times, he's going to be doubly unbearable. He'll be like John Terry, at the front of the RCB trophy presentation holding it there with Virat Kohli,' Michael Atherton added. From the time they strode onto the ground to the moment they wound up the game, when captain Rajat Patidar hoisted the ball into the stands over deep midwicket, RCB brimmed with purposeful energy. A conviction that hell or high water, they would fly to the final in Ahmedabad with ample time to re-energise for the title tilt, blazed in them. Not that they would require an upgrading from Thursday's shellacking of Punjab. For this was their most emphatic performance this edition, remorselessly dismembering the season's pole-sitter, a night that fuels the night of the dreams. The target of 106 was not worrisome by any stretch of imagination, but they neither took the total complacently nor embraced over-caution. Instead, they took this as an opportunity to emphasise their superiority, to issue a statement. RCB have thrice reached the finals before, but never with this merciless intensity. Bowling was aggressive and penetrative, fielding was all liveliness, fielders braving bruises to block boundaries.

‘Ye paani pilata hai': Virat Kohli's remark on Musheer Khan sparks debate online, Video goes viral
Royal Challengers Bengaluru had a great night on the fielf on Thursday as they completely demolished Punjab Kings batting and later chased down the total of 102 runs with ease. While RCB's turnaround in the IPL this year and their Final berth has been the talk of the town, there is another event that has suddenly caught the eyes of social media users. During the Qualifier 1 match, PBKS opted to debut Musheer Khan as their batting order saw a collapse. However, Khan failed to impress with the bat as he was dismissed on a three ball duck by Suyash Sharma. As Khan prepared to take his first ball of the IPL, netizens noticed Kohli talking to his teammates about the young batter. However, the internet is divided about what Kohli said to the PBKS batter. Some fans claim that Kohli referred to Khan as a 'water boy' and said, 'Ye paani pilata hai.' Others claim that Kohli wasn't insulting Musheer Khan, but was merely discussing with his teammates how the batter had served drinks earlier in the match. Netizens also dug up a post by Musheer Khan from earlier in the year where he thanked Kohli for giving him one of his bats. Musheer also thanked Kohli in a video posted about Punjab Kings where he stated, 'Maine rona shuru kar diya jaise hi unhone bat diya (I started crying the moment he handed me the bat). I told bhaiyya (Virat Kohli), I have scored a lot of runs from your bat. Sarfaraz bhai always used to give me your gifted bats.' Notably, Musheer is the younger brother of cricketer Sarfaraz Khan, who made his debut for the Indian Test team last year. Josh Hazlewood and Suyash Sharma were the star of evening for RCB as they took three wickets each to completely upend the PBKS batting. As for the batters, Phil Salt led from the front for Bengaluru led franchise with his 56 run knock of just 27 balls at a dazzling strike rate of 207.41. However, Kohli (12) and Mayank Aggarwal (19) failed to stay at the crease long enough to finish the match for their franchise.
