Virat Kohli fans mistakenly targeted Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi 's Instagram account with hate messages on Wednesday after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter was dismissed for seven runs by Gujarat Titans ' fast bowler Arshad Khan in the IPL 2025 match at Bengaluru.
Kohli 's brief innings consisted of just six balls, including one boundary, before he was caught at deep backward square off a shorter delivery from Arshad Khan in RCB's first home game of the season.

Confused fans flooded Warsi's five-day-old Instagram post about Ajay Devgn with hostile messages. Some fans posted threatening messages like "Dekh lunga terko (I will see you)" while others wrote "Kohli ko out kyu kia (why did you dismiss Kohli)" with angry emoticons.
One fan referenced Warsi's famous character from Munna Bhai MBBS , writing "Ee Circuit, tu Kohli ka wicket kyun liya re?"
This incident mirrors a previous case of mistaken identity when Kohli fans targeted electronics company Philips after New Zealand cricketer Glenn Phillips took a spectacular catch during the Champions Trophy last month.
In the IPL match, Gujarat Titans defeated RCB by eight wickets at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium . RCB posted 170 runs, featuring Liam Livingstone's fighting knock of 54.
Gujarat Titans successfully chased down the target with 13 balls remaining. Jos Buttler led the chase with an unbeaten 73 off 39 balls, while Sai Sudharsan contributed 49 runs.
Buttler reached his half-century with a six off Livingstone in the 15th over and continued his aggressive batting display. He was supported by impact player Sherfane Rutherford, who remained not out on 30.
Mohammed Siraj's three-wicket haul for Gujarat Titans played a crucial role in restricting RCB, leading to their first defeat of the season.
