Virat Kohli, the face of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), once again proved why he’s not just a cricket icon but also a fan-favorite off the field. In a fun-filled video released by RCB, Kohli joined Mr. Nags (played by Danish Sait) for a mock “meditation session” ahead of the ongoing IPL 2025 season—and the result was both witty and unforgettable.
Kohli Trolls RCB’s Title Woes
During the chat, Mr. Nags tried to subtly hint at whether this could finally be the season RCB breaks their 17-year title drought. Kohli’s reply? Classic self-deprecating humor.
“With us, it’s never safe. You can believe, but it’s never safe,”
Kohli said with a smirk, drawing laughs and applause from fans online.
This statement instantly resonated with fans who have long supported RCB through near misses and heartbreaks in the IPL.
‘Number 18’ Hope and Fan Belief
Mr. Nags then brought up the significance of the number 18—which is both Kohli’s jersey number and the current edition of the IPL. Fans believe it could be a sign that this is RCB’s year.
Kohli, however, cheekily responded,
“Were they not believing before?”
Social Media Detox and Endorsement Banter
The interview wasn’t all about cricket. Kohli opened up about his social media break, saying he’s in an “interesting space” with the internet and needed a “reset.” When Nags joked about whether Kohli’s endorsements increased after winning the T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy, Kohli coolly replied,
“Yes.”
The Viral Meditation Moment
The highlight of the video was the duo engaging in a mock meditation session, complete with incense and deep breaths. It was part comedy, part roast, and fully RCB-style entertainment. The video has since gone viral on social media, with fans enjoying Kohli’s relaxed vibe and sense of humor.
RCB Fans Take Note: Hope, But Stay Grounded
While Kohli and Mr. Nags made fans laugh, the video also echoed the cautious optimism that surrounds RCB every IPL season. The team has started the IPL 2025 campaign on a strong note, but as Kohli rightly put it, “It’s never safe.”
With Kohli leading the way and the team finding rhythm early in the tournament, fans can hope—but also know to expect the unexpected.
