WATCH: Virat Kohli’s doppelganger catches attention with his visit to Ram Mandir inauguration
Virat Kohli’s doppelganger had arrived at Ayodhya to watch the inauguration of Ram Mandir. The star cricketer was in Ayodhya to witness the historic event. But some rumours claimed Virat had not attended the event, although there were images of Anushka being at the event. As the rumours spread out, the footage of a doppelganger of Virat has surfaced on social media.
In the video, the Doppelganger can be seen wearing the jersey of the Indian team of the ODI WC 2023. He appeared of a similar height to that of Virat. There were a lot of similarities between how he dressed up and how Virat usually looked. It was very difficult to deny that the man was not Virat. The dressing up was as good and there was a good detailing by his looks.

The man also wore goggles which were similar to the one Virat wears. As he was roaming around, the fans thought him to be the real Virat and started to chant the name of Virat. The person was happy to get the attention and did not deny the opportunity to pose for the selfies requested by the people. The people did not realize him to be a doppelganger of Virat.
Virat Kohli opts out of first two Tests against England
Meanwhile, Virat has opted out of the first two Tests against England, which are set to happen at Hyderabad and Vizag. The reason behind the same seems to be personal and unofficial. In the absence of Virat, there have been discussions regarding the potential replacements of the star batter. Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz Khan seem to be the frontrunners.
The Indian Cricket Board asked the fans to not attack the star batter over his decision. “The board also requests the media and fans to respect Virat Kohli’s privacy during this time and refrain from speculating on the nature of his personal reasons. The focus should remain on supporting the Indian cricket team as they embark on the upcoming challenges in the Test series,” said the press release of the Indian Cricket Board.
