In Times Square, New York, a life-size monument of Indian cricket player Virat Kohli has been unveiled. Duroflex, a well-known mattress manufacturer, posted a video of the statue’s presentation on microblogging site X (previously Twitter).
“A larger-than-life statue of Virat Kohli at the iconic Times Square,” the brand remarked upon sharing the video. We are going global, creating history, and this is the King’s Duty! Virat Kohli is receiving excellent health and sleep from us. With cricket pads on his knees and a bat in his hand, Virat is shown in the statue as a towering figure.
The remarkable accomplishment made possible by Kohli’s long-standing collaboration with Duroflex was commemorated with the unveiling of the statue.
“Is the statue going to be a permanent feature?” a fan asked in response to the post. The comment “King Kohli – Global Sportstar” was made by another user.
A third user on X said, “King Kohli’s Power.” Another online user commented, “Very nice gesture for King Kholi.” By the way, where are Babar and Rizwan, the gatekeepers?
Prior to this, Virat Kohli made history by being the first batsman to reach the 3,000-run mark in an ICC Men’s World Cup.
