'Buri buri gaali bak rahe hain yaar comment mein' - Nehal Wadhera gets attacked by RCB fans for match winning knock against RCB

Punjab Kings (PBKS) secured a five-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Match 34 of IPL 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday, April 18. After RCB managed to post a modest total of 95 runs, PBKS chased it down successfully, thanks largely to Nehal Wadhera’s composed knock. Despite the low target, the chase wasn't entirely smooth, and Wadhera’s steady hand ensured PBKS crossed the finish line.

Wadhera anchored the innings during a shaky middle phase, finishing unbeaten on 33 off just 19 deliveries, including three fours and a six. His calm presence at the crease proved crucial in what could have been a tricky run chase. However, some frustrated RCB fans reacted poorly to the loss, reportedly directing online abuse toward Wadhera, especially through comments on his Instagram profile.

A video recently made its way online showing teammate Harpreet Brar on Instagram Live while the Punjab Kings squad was heading back from the stadium on the team bus. During the stream, Nehal Wadhera could be seen reading the live comments and remarked, “They’re abusing me, really abusing me in the comments section,” expressing surprise and a bit of disappointment at the harsh reactions from some viewers.

PBKS have jumped to second spot after win

RCB has struggled to capitalize on its home advantage this season, suffering its third loss at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. With four more home matches remaining, they now face a tough road ahead. To secure a spot in the playoffs, RCB must win at least four of their remaining seven games. Despite posting a low total, RCB fought hard in the second innings, picking up five wickets, with excellent performances from Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

On the other hand, PBKS registered their fifth win of the season, climbing to second place in the IPL 2025 Points Table. With just three more wins needed to confirm their playoff spot, PBKS is in a strong position. It will be intriguing to see how they perform in the remaining matches of the tournament.
