Pakistan speedster Mohammad Amir took to his Twitter handle on Friday to share a screengrab of a Turkish TV show he was watching and he thought it was Indian skipper Virat Kohli. Don't believe it? Well, Amir who was binge-watching a popular TV series Diriliş: Ertuğrul, wrote that he is confused looking at Cavit Cetin Guner because he resembles Kohli so much.

The series is based on the life of 12th century Oghuz Turk, Ertuğrul (whose son Osman Gazi founded the Ottoman Empire). Guner plays the character of Dogan Bey. Virat hasn't yet replied to Amir's tweet.
