Groom pauses wedding to watch Kohli bat, Internet can’t stop laughing

Every Indian knows there are two things you simply cannot ignore: wedding rituals and Virat Kohli batting. But when fate cruelly schedules both at the same time, what do you do? For one groom, the answer was simple: watch Kohli first, shaadi later. His perfectly relatable yet hilarious dilemma has now taken the Internet by storm.

A viral clip circulating online shows a groom decked out in an ornate sherwani, varmala around his neck, and seated at the mandap doing what every die-hard cricket fan secretly dreams of. With the pandit chanting mantras and guests quietly observing, the groom’s attention remained surgically glued to his phone screen, streaming Virat Kohli’s innings with laser focus.

His slight forward lean, the intense concentration on his face, and the complete disregard for the ongoing rituals made the moment comedy gold. Even the bride, supposedly the star of the day, couldn’t help but notice Kohli’s uninvited but powerful presence at her wedding.

The text overlay on the viral clip summed it up perfectly:

“Shaadi-vaadi toh hoti rahegi, par KOHLI ki batting miss nahi honi chahiye.”

Internet Reacts With Peak Indian Humour

As expected, social media erupted with jokes and good-natured teasing. Comments poured in:
“King Kohli, RCB lover for life,” wrote one.

Another labelled him, “Kohli Paglu.”
One user even joked, “Shaadi hoti rehti hai bro, pehle King ki badmashi dekh lo.”

Not everyone was amused though; some reminded that wedding rituals deserve respect, even if Kohli is batting like a god.

This now-iconic moment captures a universal truth: for millions of Indians, cricket isn’t a game it’s a heartbeat. And yes, sometimes that heartbeat gets louder than even the wedding bells.
