Virat Kohli’s wicket sparks Internet chaos as fans mistake Arshad Warsi for Arshad Khan

The internet has done it again! Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi has found himself in the middle of an unexpected social media storm. And the reason? A hilarious case of mistaken identity after the IPL 2025 match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT).

On Wednesday, cricket fans witnessed an intense match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where RCB suffered their first loss of the season. The home team set a target of 169/8, but Gujarat Titans chased it down with ease in just 18 overs, winning by eight wickets. Jos Buttler’s explosive 73 off 39 balls, coupled with Sai Sudharsan’s steady 49, ensured an easy victory for GT.

Former RCB bowler Mohammed Siraj was the standout performer of the match, clinching three wickets at a remarkable economy rate of 4.75. However, the biggest talking point was Arshad Khan, GT’s left-arm pacer, who dismissed Virat Kohli early in the game. Kohli fell for just 7 runs, attempting a pull shot off Khan’s delivery, only to be caught at deep square leg by Prasidh Krishna. This moment sent RCB fans into shock, but what followed was even more bizarre.

Arshad Warsi Becomes the Unexpected Target

In a classic case of online chaos, thousands of Virat Kohli’s passionate fans stormed Arshad Warsi’s Instagram instead of Arshad Khan’s! Unaware of the actual cricketer’s identity, they spammed Warsi’s latest post with comments blaming him for dismissing Kohli.

From “Kohli ko out kyun kiya?” to “Ee Circuit tu Kohli ka wicket kyu liya re?” the comment section turned into a comedy fest. Nearly thousands of fans flooded the post, making it a trending topic online.

No Reaction from Warsi Yet

While Arshad Warsi has yet to respond to the hilarious confusion, social media continues to have a field day with memes and jokes about the incident. This mix-up highlights not only the massive influence of Virat Kohli but also how the internet often jumps on trends without verifying facts.

One thing’s for sure, whether in cricket or Bollywood, the name Arshad is now in the spotlight!
