However, soon after the game between RCB and CSK concluded, CarryMinati was seen trolling the Royal Challengers, especially Kohli, stating that the reason the batter does not eat sweets is not because of a diet but because he has no reason to ever celebrate. 

This cheeky dig did not sit well with fans, as CarryMinati went on to even compare Kohli to Rohit Sharma as well. Soon enough, 'Shame on CarryMinati' was trending on X, however, the tag was also used by haters to promote Ajey Nagar's video on Kohli.
