Musheer Khan made his IPL debut for Punjab Kings against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Mullanpur Stadium on Thursday, May 29. The young batter didn’t feature in any match during the league stage, and his first outing came in a tough situation, with Punjab reeling at 60 for 6 in just 8.2 overs.
Kohli, who was standing at first slip, was animatedly chatting with a teammate, with many calling his gesture a banter at Musheer. The right-handed batter had just served drinks before being unexpectedly called to bat. However, the debutant was dismissed without scoring during the same over.

Virat Kohli Faces Backlash on Social Media Over Gesture Towards Musheer Khan
"Did anyone else notice the (probable) lip-sync and gestures from Virat Kohli when Musheer Khan was taking guard? If true, that's surprising even by his own standards. Definitely not the best demeanour from a 'legend of the game'," a fan wrote on X, lashing out at Kohli.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Secure Spot in IPL 2025 Final
Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured their spot in the IPL 2025 final by defeating Punjab Kings by eight wickets in Qualifier 1. RCB’s bowlers restricted Punjab Kings to just 101 runs in 15 overs, with Suyash Sharma and Josh Hazlewood each taking three wickets.
They have reached the final multiple times without winning—first in 2009, then in 2011, and again in 2016—but will be eager to finally claim the title. Meanwhile, Punjab Kings still have a chance to face RCB again in the final if they win Qualifier 2 on June 1.
