A video of Virat Kohli's doppelganger mobbed by fans for selfies in Ayodhya has become the talk of the town on social media.
Did Virat Kohli attend the Ram Temple inauguration in Ayodhya? Or did the former India skipper practise in Hyderabad for the England Test series? Kohli remained the talk of the town on Monday as the consecration event at Ram Temple was held in a grand ceremony in Ayodhya. Though Kohli didn't attend the special event, his lookalike garnered the attention of netizens in Ayodhya.
The impersonator received a rousing reception upon reaching Ayodhya. Donning the Indian cricket team's jersey, Kohli's lookalike was mobbed by Team India fans after the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony. A video of Team India fans storming into the street to catch a glimpse of Kohli's lookalike was shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Duplicate Virat Kohli at Ayodhya. People going crazy after seeing Duplicate Virat Kohli," a fan captioned his post on social media.

Kohli opts out of first two England Tests
Kohli will miss the first two Tests against England in the upcoming series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that Kohli opted out of the first two games due to personal reasons. Kohli arrived in Hyderabad ahead of the 1st Test against England on Sunday. However, Kohli did not attend Team India's optional training session on Monday. The 35-year-old last played a Test for India in the South Africa series. He was rested for the entire white-ball series against the Proteas following a fruitful campaign at the ICC World Cup last year.
