Virat Kohli look-alike hogs the limelight in the Nagpur ODI

It is always a good time to be Virat Kohli. The Indian captain led the home team to another series victory; this time it was the turn of the Aussies. India thrashed the visitors by 7 wickets to clinch the ODI series 4-1. And interestingly, Nagpur got to see not one but two Kohlis. During the game, a look-alike of Kohli was spotted at the stands at the VCA stadium. The cameraman spotted him rightly and was very much in the spotlight from there on.

There have been quite a number of Kohli look-alikes in the past too. A social media clip went viral earlier, when a Dominos employee in Pakistan was snapped. The poster boy of Indian cricket has many admirers and fans and a bit of fame around his look-alikes is quite obvious.

Real Kohli happy too

The real Kohli was very happy with the win. Post the victory, he said “I thought it was a really convincing series win. We’ve ticked all the boxes. We’ve been put under pressure, and we’ve come back four times to win four games. Lots of positives to come out of this series. I think it’s become second nature to the players [to keep themselves motivated despite already winning the series]. The management has played a role in that as well. Bhuvi and Bumrah have been outstanding for us. When Umesh and Shami got their opportunity they were pretty good as well. And those two wristspinners in the middle overs, and all the batsmen. Hardik Pandya the biggest example, earning the Man of the Series. Good headache [selection] – you might as well have a few to pick from and take the best 11 possible.”

India will take on Australia next in the T20I series, starting in Ranchi. Post the 3-match series, the home team will face New Zealand in a limited overs series.
