Virat Kohli has added another feather to his hat! A wax statue at the Madame Tussauds in Dubai was unveiled on Monday. The Indian captain, who is easily one of the most popular cricketers in the world, is currently on national duty in UAE. The picture of the wax statue surfaced on social space and since has gone viral.
Fans are loving the statue as they are sharing it with beautiful captions on their timeline.
It is not sure if Kohli himself has seen it as he was busy with the warm-up game against England on Monday.
Meanwhile, India hammered England by seven wickets in their opening warm-up game on Monday in Dubai. During the toss, Kohli brought an end to speculations as he confirmed that KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma would open the batting during the T20 WC.
“Things were different before IPL started and now KL Rahul is playing the way he is, so it’s very hard to look past him at top of the order,” Kohli said. “Rohit is a no-brainer. He has been a world-class player right at the top of the order for us. I will be batting at three.”
In the 16 matches, Kohli has played at the previous three T20 WCs, the Indian captain has always batted at No. 3. He was the highest run-getter in the 2014 edition of the tournament, and the second-highest in 2016.
India would now play Australia in their second warm-up game on Wednesday before taking on arch-rivals Pakistan in their tournament opener on October 24.
