When a video of Virat Kohli’s convoy arriving in Ayodhya was widely circulated online, anticipation was high among fans and other people for the cricketer’s attendance at the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony. However, the man in question turned out to be Kohli’s doppelganger.
In a video shared by Mufaddal Vohra on X, the cricketer’s doppelganger was mobbed by fans. He was dressed in the Indian jersey as cops were seen escorting him in Ayodhya. In the clip, fans were seen desperately trying to take a picture with Kohli’s lookalike.
He was trying to move away but was constantly swept away by eager fans.

Meanwhile, pictures and videos claiming Virat Kohli attended the grand consecration ceremony at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple surfaced online.
However, the footage shared on the internet was from Rahul Kanal’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations that Kohli was a part of a few months ago.
On the other hand, a few social media accounts suggested that Kohli had reached Ayodhya for the Ram Mandir inauguration but had to leave because of a personal emergency. However, the same could not be independently verified by Moneycontrol.
The Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony was held on an elaborate scale in Ayodhya on Monday. Over 7,000 diginitaries from all fields attended the historic event. Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble and Ravindra Jadeja were some of the cricketers who were present.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi oversaw the Pran Pratishtha ceremony that took place between an auspicious time of 12.20 pm to 1 pm on Monday.
