Cheeku crushes Mango: Food delivery app trolls Naveen-ul-Haq after Virat Kohli’s match winning century against SRH

Virat Kohli, the Indian cricketing maestro, has garnered widespread praise for his sensational century during the Royal Challengers Bangalore’s crucial IPL 2023 league stage match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday night. Kohli’s magnificent knock of 100 runs off 63 balls played a pivotal role in helping his franchise chase down a formidable target of 187 runs, securing two crucial points to propel RCB’s progression in the tournament.

With an aggressive start right from the field restrictions, Kohli maintained an impressive strike rate even after the powerplay, showcasing a rare and flawless T20 innings. This outstanding performance captivated the packed stadium crowd and the billions of viewers worldwide, earning him accolades and adulation on social media platforms.

One brand that joined in the chorus of praise was the food delivery giant, Swiggy, who cleverly referenced the infamous on-field altercation between Kohli and Afghanistan seamer Naveen-Ul-Haq. In response to Naveen’s Instagram post featuring mangoes after RCB’s defeat to the Mumbai Indians, Swiggy took a humorous approach to laud Kohli’s efforts. They tweeted, “Looks like someone found the real ‘Chiku’ of the season. King Kohli, making it happen!”

Here’s the viral Tweet: 

The term “Chiku” holds a dual meaning, representing both the fruit “sapodilla” and the renowned nickname bestowed upon Virat Kohli by his dear friend and cricketing legend, MS Dhoni. Swiggy’s tweet humorously emphasized that Kohli, the true king of the game, outshined Naveen’s mango reference, playfully asserting Kohli’s superiority.

Virat Kohli chose not to respond to the social media sledge, allowing Swiggy’s amusing tweet to speak on his behalf. The playful banter between brands added an entertaining element to the post-match celebrations, capturing the attention and appreciation of cricket enthusiasts across the globe.

As the cricketing world continues to revel in Virat Kohli’s exceptional century and applaud his unwavering prowess, the fans, both on social media and within the stadium, remain enchanted by his brilliance. With every stroke of the bat, Kohli etches his name deeper into the annals of cricketing greatness, leaving an indelible mark on the sport he so passionately embodies.
