IPL 2025: RCB Fans Blame Arshad Warsi After Kohli’s Exit in RCB vs GT Match
In a wild twist straight out of a Bollywood script, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans turned their frustration into a social media spectacle after Gujarat Titans (GT) thumped their team by 8 wickets in the 14th match of IPL 2025 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The drama kicked off when GT pacer Arshad Khan sent RCB’s golden boy, Virat Kohli, packing for just 7 runs with a clever short ball that Kohli mistimed into Prasidh Krishna’s hands. What should’ve been a routine cricket moment spiraled into chaos as fans, in a hilarious mix-up, flooded Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi’s Instagram with comments like “Kohli ko out kyun kiya?” and “Ee Circuit, tu kyun aaya?”; a nod to his iconic Munna Bhai role.

The match itself was a rollercoaster. RCB, riding high after two wins, crumbled early to 42/4, thanks to a fiery Mohammed Siraj (3/19) and Khan’s breakthrough. Liam Livingstone’s gritty half-century and late cameos from Jitesh Sharma and Tim David pushed RCB to 169, but GT’s chase was a breeze. Sai Sudharsan (49), Jos Buttler (73*), and Sherfane Rutherford (30*) made light work of it, sealing the deal with 13 balls to spare. Yet, the real story brewed online, where fans; some confused, some just memeing; turned Warsi into an unexpected villain, echoing past blunders like targeting Philips over Glenn Phillips’ catch in the Champions Trophy.
This isn’t just cricket anymore; it’s a full-on fan frenzy blending sport and stardom. As GT celebrates their second win in three games, RCB licks its wounds, dropping to third on the points table. Meanwhile, Arshad Warsi, caught in the crossfire, might just need Munna Bhai’s magic to dodge this IPL-sized trolling storm.
