Skipper Virat Kohli Enjoys An 'Oscar' Moment; Stuns Fans With A New Award

Indian skipper Virat Kohli has received multiple awards, including the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award this year. This time, Kohli has stunned his fans by winning an award for his stellar acting performance in a fake movie.

Kohli took to Twitter to post an image of himself, holding a replica of the Oscar. Little did fans know that it was a promotion for his clothing line Wrogn.

“This is unbelievable, best award for best non-acting by a main lead for trailer the movie. I would like to thank wrogn production for never making the movie and to my audience for not watching the movie, this was a fake movie so a fake award,” Kohli said in his video.

Previously, Kohli has teased starring in a movie "another debut after 10 years, can't wait!” on September 20. The trailer – that came a day later than originally promised – borrowed heavily from action movie tropes but the ending makes it clear that this a marketing stunt for his clothing brand. However, that didn’t stop Kohli from joking about preparing his Oscar acceptance speech.

On the cricketing front, Kohli will now be preparing to return to lead the limited overs side after missing the 2018 Asia Cup as he opted to rest after the England tour.
