'Aaj se koi kuch nahi bolega bhai, Thike na?' - Fans react as Virat Kohli says he doesn't like to be called as 'KING'

Former Bangalore skipper and batting superstar, Virat Kohli has made a stunning comeback in the form in the Indian T20 League. He played a sensational unbeaten knock of 82 runs off just 49 balls with six boundaries and five sixes to his name. His knock helped Bangalore to comfortably chase down the target of 172 runs only 16.2 overs against Mumbai in their campaign opener.

Apart from that, Kohli is currently in the headlines of social media for his recent statement. Kohli talked about the word ‘King’ given to him by his ardent and die-hard fans.

"People tell me King out of love, but I personally don't prefer it. Like 'Ee Sala Cup Namdhe', don't say 'King,” said Kohli recently.

Although the fans couldn’t resist reacting to this statement from the 34-year-old; they immediately took to Twitter to come up with some interesting responses for Kohli.

Here’s how fans reacted:
