The ace cricketer’s absence is learned to be due to personal reasons. Kohli, who was in Hyderabad with Team India for training ahead of the first Test of the five-match series against England, pulled out of the first two matches. However, some people got to see Virat Kohli’s doppelganger in Ayodhya and went crazy behind the man.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, Kohli’s lookalike can be seen wearing Team India’s number 18 jersey and a group of people flocking to take selfies with him. Fans on social media flooded the comment section with hilarious comments.

Kohli’s decision to skip the first two Tests will surely hurt the team. The 35-year-old has a good record against England, especially in home conditions. The Indian Cricket Board issued a statement on Monday (January 22) saying that the management, including captain Rohit Sharma, had been informed before the star batter took the call. The board also requested fans and media to respect his privacy.
“The Indian Cricket Board respects his decision and the Board and team management has extended its support to the star batter and is confident in the abilities of the remaining squad members to step up and deliver commendable performances in the Test series,” the statement read.
Here’s how fans reacted:
