Virat Kohli once again stole the spotlight—not just with his bat, but this time with a witty one-liner that’s gone viral. During a recent episode of the popular RCB Insider Show featuring Mr. Nags, Kohli delivered the phrase “Ghante ka peace,” which quickly became a hit among fans on social media. The hilarious moment occurred during a comedic segment where Kohli was portrayed in a so-called "meditative state," only to be hilariously interrupted by Mr. Nags.

As Mr. Nags attempted a friendly yet awkward embrace, Kohli’s visible discomfort set the tone for the comedy that followed. Unimpressed, Kohli pulled his hand away and instructed, “Sitting there now will work.” Nags, never one to miss a moment, poked fun by reminding Kohli of his earlier advice about showing affection to friends. Kohli's sharp response, “Love should be extended after a proper bath,” had the audience in splits.

The interaction peaked when Mr. Nags, trying to walk away to preserve the "peace," was met with Kohli’s now-iconic retort—“Ghante ka peace.” The moment not only showcased Kohli’s quick wit but also added a new catchphrase to the IPL 2025 lexicon. Fans are loving this off-field avatar of Kohli, as his charisma continues to shine both on the pitch and in front of the camera.

Fans connect the remark to Babar Azam

Virat Kohli’s now-viral phrase “Ghante ka peace” sparked comparisons with the popular catchphrase “Ghante ka king,” used by a Pakistani YouTuber to mock Babar Azam’s performance. While Kohli didn’t explicitly mention Babar, many fans drew connections between the two comments, fueling widespread speculation and online debates about whether the Indian star was subtly taking a jab at his Pakistani counterpart.

On the field, Kohli continues to let his bat do the talking. With 248 runs in six matches, he stands as Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s top scorer and ranks fifth overall in IPL 2025. Maintaining an impressive average of 62 and a strike rate of over 140, Kohli has notched up three half-centuries so far this season. His consistency and form have firmly placed him in contention for the Orange Cap. Currently sitting third on the IPL 2025 points table, RCB's strong performance has been largely powered by Kohli’s brilliance. As the tournament progresses, the franchise's hopes of clinching their maiden title could heavily rest on their talisman’s continued dominance.
