Virat Kohli RCB Segment: Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli has sparked laughter after being teased online for becoming an “overseas player” due to him moving to London with his family of late. Kohli now mostly returns to India for international matches and to represent Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL. This lifestyle shift has inspired a popular meme that jokes about RCB playing 5 overseas players this season, referencing the IPL rule limiting teams to just four overseas players in the playing XI.

During a social media segment hosted by Mr. Nags for RCB, Kohli was asked about the joke.
“There are many things that people say on social media about you, see now people are saying RCB is playing 5 overseas players, I’m not understanding what they are saying actually,”
“I don’t know, why are you asking me? ask the overseas players, I’m not an overseas players, am I an overseas player?” Kohli replied while laughing, to which the interviewer said “no, you are not”.
In addition to the five overseas players meme, he is also jokingly referred to as an English cricketer playing for India by trolls on social media after his move to London with his wife and kids. But beyond the memes, Kohli’s on the field prowess still remains exceptional.
