This is not the first time that a Virat Kohli lookalike has come into the limelight. Earlier this year, in May, Pakistan speedster Mohammad Amir took to his Twitter handle and shared 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 was binge-watching a popular TV series Diriliş: Ertuğrul and wrote that he is confused looking at Cavit Cetin Guner because he resembles Kohli so much.

Meanwhile, Australia have set a massive target of 187 for India to chase. Matthew Wade and Glenn Maxwell were the stars with the bat for Aussies as they both scored stunning fifties to propel their side to a huge total. While Wade scored 80 off 53 balls, Maxwell chipped in with a 36-ball 54. India have a steep task ahead of them to chase 187 against a formidable Australian bowling line up. The Men in Blue will look to whitewash Australia by winning this fixture whereas the hosts will play to save their pride.
