Virat Kohli, the former captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), reacted humorously to social media banter labeling him as an “overseas player” for RCB in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Despite now focusing on ODIs for India and spending time in London with his family, Kohli remains a popular topic among fans, with some humorously suggesting that RCB is fielding five overseas players due to his frequent presence in England.
During a light-hearted exchange with content creator Mr. Nags, Kohli laughed off the jest, with Mr. Nags playfully questioning the overseas player rumors. Kohli clarified that he is not an overseas player, emphasizing the playful nature of the comments circulating online.
Addressing false reports about his travel arrangements during the IPL, Kohli dismissed claims of requesting a chartered flight between India and London. The cricketer, in good form on the field, recently showcased his skills with a notable 69 not out off 38 balls in RCB’s victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Kohli’s next challenge awaits as RCB gears up to face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, with fans eagerly anticipating his performance in the upcoming match.
