For those who don’t know, the phrase ‘Ghante ka king’ is well-known among cricket fans in South Asia. It was made popular by two Pakistani YouTubers to make fun of Babar Azam’s poor form on the field.

Many fans think that Virat Kohli was taking a jab at Babar with his latest comment on the RCB Insider Show. In the video, Kohli is seen pretending to meditate when Mr. Nags comes over and hugs him. Kohli didn’t like the hug and reacted in a funny way by pushing Mr. Nags away and saying, “Chhii, go sit over there.”

Mr. Nags quickly reminded Kohli that he once said to always show love to your loved ones. In response, Kohli joked, “Extend love, but only after having a bath. You come like that, my whole peace is spoiled.”

Kohli then got up and started to walk away, and that’s when Mr. Nags called out, “Maintain peace!” Kohli replied with the now-viral and hilarious one-liner: “Ghante ka peace.”
