Virat Kohli was in the training nets when the small kid, an exact lookalike of the RCB maestro as he was in his childhood, appeared to get autographs.

Kohli greeted the kid named Garvit Uttam and signed a mini bat for him while taking pictures with the small child. After India vs New Zealand 1st ODI concluded, Garvit was found sharing his experience with a Punjabi news channel.

Kohli called Garvit his 'DUPLICATE'

Then sharing about the experience of how he met Kohli and how he greeted him and even acknowledged the fact that he is a ‘carbon copy’ of the cricketer himself.

“Maine ekbar unka naam liya aur wo meri taraf dikha and Hi karke bola ki main thodi der main ata hu. Virat Kohli ne Rohit Sharma ko bola tha ki ‘wahan pe dekh mera duplicate baitha hua hai’. Chota Cheeku bulaya tha,” Garvit said.

(Once, I mentioned his name, and he looked towards me and said hi, telling me that he would come in a little while. Virat had told Rohit Sharma, ‘Look over there, my duplicate is sitting there.’ He had called me Chota Cheeku.)

Besides meeting Virat Kohli, Garvit also met with other Indian cricketers as he elaborated that he met KL Rahul, Arshdeep Singh and Rohit Sharma too.

Nevertheless, Garvit had a lucky day as his idol scored a 93 at Kotambi Stadium a few days later. Against New Zealand, Virat went on a successful parade during the chase of 301, only falling 7 runs shy of a century.

Virat has been on a great run since his Australia ODIs. In the span of last 6 months, he has boasted an average of 93.8 from 7 ODI matches while having two centuries and 3 half-centuries.

He will feature again in the upcoming 2nd ODI between India and New Zealand on January 14.
