In a viral moment that has taken social media by storm, fans of Indian cricket star Virat Kohli are doing a double take, and for good reason. A video of a local cook, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the cricketer, is making rounds online, leaving netizens both amused and amazed.The now-viral video shows the bearded cook, dressed in a traditional lungi, talking about the various food items he and his team prepare in clay pots.
What caught the internet’s attention wasn’t his cooking or the food on the menu, but rather his facial features, hairstyle, and expressions that mirror Kohli. As soon as the video hit social platforms, the comments section exploded. “I am convincing myself that person is not Virat Kohli,” joked one user.
Another quipped, “@imVkohli...When not playing cricket.”Still another said, "Accha so kohli never left for UK instead, he started serving the mandir."The clip has since been widely shared across social media with fans even asking in disbelief if AI was used to create the clip. However, according to the viral post, the video was taken form "food blogger hmm's youtube account."This isn’t the first time the internet has found a Kohli lookalike. Previously, fans were left seeing double when a photo of a Turkish actor who bears an uncanny resemblance to him went viral. Fans were left amused when photos of Cavit Çetin Günîr, who plays the role of Doğan Bey in the historical drama Diriliş: Ertuğrul, went viral for his strikingly similar appearance to the Indian cricketer.
Virat made headlines on Thursday when he brought out his romantic side and celebrated his team's win by blowing a kiss to his wife Anushka Sharma, who was also present for the match, cheering from the stands.
