A software engineer from Chandigarh has become viral for his uncanny resemblance to the former captain of the Indian cricket team Virat Kohli. Kartik Sharma, who is also a cricket fan, said that he wishes to meet his "idol" at least once in his lifetime.
If one takes a look at his Instagram page, his hair, style of beard, skin texture and even dressing sense appears like "King Kohli". In a few videos posted by him, Mr Sharma's expression can be seen matching the cricketer's. This amused several people on social media.
In an interview with Humans of Bombay in July this year, the software engineer said, "I know what you're thinking, but nope, I'm not Virat Kohli! I'm Kartik Sharma, from Haryana - a software engineer. But yes, people swarm me for pictures everywhere I go. And even though I couldn't make a career in it, cricket is my true passion and Virat Kohli is my idol. Hopefully one day, I'll get to live my dream and meet him!" He can be seen in the video in a number of settings, where people are crowding to take selfies with him. The video made many laugh on the internet while some claimed they couldn't tell the difference between the two people.
