While the world was going gaga over Virat Kohli’s 6th IPL ton on Thursday night, a cheeky tweet from Swiggy Instamart’s Twitter account once again brought the Virat Kohli vs Naveen-ul-Haq debate into focus.

The online delivery company tweeted, "Sorry mango, cheeku is the real king" after the RCB superstar equalled Chris Gayle's record for most hundreds in the competition's history.

For those wondering about the choice of words, 'Cheeku' is Virat Kohli's nickname. 

The tweet was also a sly dig at Afghanistan & LSG pacer Naveen-ul-Haq who antagonised several Virat Kohli fans earlier in May with an Instagram story where he shared a picture of mangoes placed in front of a TV screen showing the RCB vs Mumbai Indians match. Interestingly, the TV screen displayed the moment right after Kohli (1) was dismissed.

Considering Naveen & Kohli clashed onfield during the LSG vs RCB game, fans speculated that it was the fast bowler's subtle jab aimed at the Indian batter.
