Star Indian batter Virat Kohli helped the Indian cricket team end their 11-year-long trophy drought and win the prestigious T20 World Cup 2024 title after his match-winning knock played a crucial role in defeating South Africa in the Final which took place in Barbados. However, amidst all the celebration, he also found himself under fire after his Bengaluru pub One8 commune was found operating beyond the permitted hours, which forced the Bengaluru police to lodge a FIR against it.
