Former Indian opening batter Wasim Jaffer referred to Virat Kohli as the 'Burger King' after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star played a sensational shot for six against Rajasthan Royals pacer Nandre Burger. Jaffer took to his official account on X and wrote, "He's not just a King, he's a Burger King."
The incident occurred in the 4th over of the innings as Burger delivered a short-of-a-length delivery. The 35-year-old was quick to pick the length and got into position to deposit the ball over square leg. The commentator in question, Ian Bishop, was also in awe over the shot.
Kohli had already started the match as the highest run-getter of the season, accumulating 203 runs alongside a couple of half-centuries. However, the Royal Challengers have lost 3 out of 4 matches this season, with their only win coming against the Punjab Kings.
