Did Virat Kohli Take Subtle 'Impact Player' Dig At Rohit Sharma? Internet Ponders
Last Updated: Virat Kohli's statement about not wanting to play as an impact player but making an impact as a fielder has fans speculating if it's a dig at Rohit Sharma. Ace India batter Virat Kohli's statement that he doesn't want to play as an impact player and rather make an impact as a fielder during the 20 overs has left fans online wondering if he took a subtle dig at Rohit Sharma, who played as an impact player throughout IPL 2025 for the Mumbai Indians. Kohli, who has been the face of the team since its initial years, could not hold back his joy after Bengaluru edged out the Punjab Kings by just six runs in a nerve-racking final. Kohli was interviewed by Matthew Hayden after the game, where the former discussed in detail the win and his future with Bengaluru. Kohli remains the only cricketer to have played for a single team since the tournament's inception, and Kohli said that he wants to give everything on the field for Bengaluru until his last game. 'Well, I have an opportunity to play this game for not many years. So there is an end date to our career, as you know. And by the time that I hang up my boots, I want to sit at home and say I gave it everything I had," Kohli said. 'So I look for ways to improve. I cannot play as an impact player. I want to field 20 overs and make an impact in the field. That is the kind of player I have been. And God blessed me with that perspective, with the talent," Kohli added. Rohit, one of the Indian Premier League's leading names and the second-highest run-scorer, has been used as an impact player in IPL 2025. 'Nobody wants to play as an impact player. MI management forced Rohit Sharma to play as an impact player," a fan tweeted in the wee hours of Wednesday. 'Virat Kohli: I don't want to play as an impact player, I want to field for 20 overs. Subtle. Very subtle," another fan tweeted. Virat Kohli: I don't want to play as an impact player, I want to field for 20 Very subtle. — Suraj Balakrishnan (@SurajBala) June 3, 2025 Kohli's moist eyes melted hearts just after Josh Hazlewood had bowled his second ball of the 20th over, and when a choked Virat Kohli kissed the Motera turf, there could have been a million teary-eyed fans who had waited for this day just like their hero.

On the other hand, Kohli has 1159 runs to his name in 36 matches for RCB against PBKS.

Watch: Furious Shreyas Iyer Abuses Shashank Singh, Refuses Handshake
Last Updated: Shashank Singh left Shreyas Iyer furious after his poor running during a high-stakes Qualifier 1 clash between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians. Shreyas Iyer played the starring role as Punjab Kings recovered from an abject defeat in the first qualifier to edge past Mumbai Indians on Sunday night and punch their ticket for the IPL 2025 final. Iyer, the PBKS captain, slammed an unbeaten 87 off 41 in a successful chase of 204 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. While he looked incredibly calm after hitting the match-winning six, avoiding exaggerated celebrations, he did lose his cool after spotting teammate Shashank Singh during the ritual post-match handshake. Iyer fired expletives at Shashank and asked his teammate to not engage with him. Bsdk muh mat lagna mere bc. Blud Shreyas Iyer literally said to Shashank Singh 😭🤣 — Professor Sahab (@ProfesorSahab) June 1, 2025 So what triggered the reaction? Well, Shashank had a major role. With PBKS seemingly taking control of the chase as the contest entered the death overs, Shashank ended up taking it too easy as was evident when he jogged for a single that resulted in him being run out and thus giving MI an opening. The dismissal happened off the fourth delivery of the 17th over as PBKS needed 35 to win off 21 deliveries with six wickets remaining. Having driven a low full toss from Trent Boult to mid-on, Shashank was ambling towards the non-striker's end with an alert Hardik Pandya spotted the opportunity and made a direct hit. TV umpire was pressed into action and one replay was enough to conclude Shashank, despite his late reaction to speed up, was well short of his crease. However, Iyer, in red-hot form, ensured the dismissal didn't shift the momentum as he singlehandedly took PBKS over the line. This is the first time that PBKS have qualified for the final since 2014 when they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders and were known as Kings XI Punjab. PBKS will now have just a day to recover from the contest that went late into the night thanks to a rain-delayed start before facing a red-hot RCB in the title clash at the same venue.
