The fan’s uncanny resemblance with Dhawan even prompted RCB legend Virat Kohli to break character amidst the tense fervor of a potential IPL thriller at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

A Shikhar Dhawan lookalike, blending into the M. Chinnaswamy crowd, took centerstage for a while during the Punjab Kings innings, prompting RCB legend Virat Kohli to chuckle in delightful amusement.

The incident occurred the 18th over, at a time when Kohli was stationed near the boundary line. While Shikhar Dhawan himself remain unfazed by his doppelganger, the RCB veteran could not hold back his amusement upon witnessing a parody of his once-regular national teammate.

On the cricketing front, Shikhar Dhawan belted a fluent 45 at the top of the order before Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma and Shashank Singh’s valiant 20s took Punjab Kings to a respectable 176-6.

Kohli led RCB’s response in the run-chase by notching up a tuneful half-century despite losing two key partners inside the opening powerplay.
