In an amusing twist of fate, a video of a man resembling Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli has taken the internet by storm.
The clip showcases the lookalike, who was seen wearing a Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) cap, celebrating at a protest in Bangladesh.
The protest marked the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed, and the lookalike was captured dancing on the shoulders of a friend, drawing attention for his uncanny resemblance to the famous cricketer.
As the video gained traction online, netizens were quick to comment on the striking similarities between the man and Kohli.
Many were shocked and entertained, leading to a flurry of memes and comments across social media platforms.
One user humorously referred to him as “Bengali Kohli bro,” noting the RCB cap he sported while dancing, dubbing him “King Kohli.”
This celebration in Bangladesh coincided with significant political turmoil, as protests began as peaceful student demonstrations against the quota system for government jobs but escalated into violent confrontations, ultimately resulting in the resignation of Sheikh Hasina.
Despite the serious backdrop, the viral video of the lookalike provided a lighthearted moment for viewers online.
This isn’t the first time Kohli’s lookalikes have captured attention.
Earlier this year, another video featuring a different lookalike from Ayodhya went viral, showcasing the uncanny resemblance and prompting fans to rush for selfies with him while he donned the Indian cricket team jersey.
The recent video serves as a reminder of how social media can bring humor and unexpected moments into serious situations, as people across the globe share in the amusement of seeing a familiar face in unexpected places.
