Virat Kohli and the whole Bottle Flip Controversy

India’s cricketing superstar Virat Kohli had a successful run at the Champions Trophy 2025, and the world is talking about it.

But what Instagram fans are talking about today is a funny yet considerate controversy, sparking a flurry of jokes and memes all over social media.

It all began when a video from the Indian dressing room during the Champions Trophy 2025 surfaced on the internet, where King Kohli is seen drinking water from a bottle that looks like a Bisleri bottle. In the video, he tosses the half-filled bottle on a table and is disappointed when he fails to flip the bottle upright.

And when Bisleri marketed the video stating ‘Agar Bisleri bottle hota, toh flip hota', the whole chaos began. Kohli fans didn’t hesitate and headed quickly to Bisleri’s post comments section to diss it, troll it, and comment in cheap, rough language.

But is Bisleri at fault?

Bisleri did nothing wrong here. Then why is it facing this wrath?

Bisleri’s Instagram video had nothing to do with Virat Kohli or cricket. But Virat’s army descended upon the official Instagram handle of Bisleri and abused it badly.

Does Kohli really drink Bisleri water? Well, no reports or facts have rectified the real answer to this, and hence, it's still unknown.

Bisleri has set their record straight on the whole Virat Kohli's bottle flip fiasco. Bisleri has cleared the air and also showcased the brand's ability to engage with its viewers and take a joke in the right stride.
