Has Kohli started playing for Pak? Fans shocked with Indian Skipper lookalike in Pak team

The likeness of Indian squad captain Virat Kohli is something many have frequently observed. When a fan is spotted with a beard resembling Kohli's, the fans frequently keep their star-like beard on purpose. Fans recently witnessed a lookalike of Kohli in the Pakistan team.

Saud Shakeel, a Pakistani batsman who recently made his debut in the present ODI series against England, has garnered headlines for reasons unconnected to his play. Rather, many compare him to Virat Kohli. At least, that's what the fans think. Shakeel's photo went popular on social media as soon as he batted in the match. Fans on Twitter drew comparisons between Saud Shakeel and Indian captain Virat Kohli.

Pakistan got off to a bad start, as has become the usual. They had slumped to 36-3 while chasing a 248-point objective. Shakeel stepped in to bat with his team in such perilous circumstances. He dug in at one end and attempted to save the team, but it was too late. Pakistan's fortunes continued to deteriorate, and despite Hasan Ali's heroics, they were defeated by a crushing 52-run margin.

Shakeel, on the other hand, had a good game. After being bowled for five in the first ODI, he fared considerably better in the second. His controlled knock of 56, peppered with four boundaries, including a few sharp strokes. Because Pakistan's middle-order is quite weak, a batter-like Shakeel may alleviate some of the pressure.

However, instead of his fifty, Saud Shakeel was trending on Twitter for his physical resemblance to Indian captain Virat Kohli. There have been comparisons between Pakistani batters and Kohli. However, individuals were chosen based on their cricketing abilities rather than their appearance. Shakeel, on the other hand, is gaining popularity for his facial traits, and the Twitterati were in their element.
