Bengaluru currently sit second on the points table, and his form with the bat has been a cornerstone of their successful campaign.
While the internet enjoys a moment of light-hearted entertainment, Kohli is clearly staying locked in on what matters most: cricket.
His ability to balance global attention with top-level performance remains one of the many things that make him a fan favourite.
