Virat Kohli is keeping busy these days, not just with IPL 2025 as part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, but apparently with a TV debut too! At least, that's what a Reddit user thought after spotting an actor who looks strikingly like the 36-year-old cricketer!
On Monday, a Reddit user posted a screenshot from the hit Turkish series Dirili?: Ertu?rul, featuring actor Cavit ?etin G¨¹ner. The hilarious caption read, "Anushka Sharma's husband TV show debut."

Dirili?: Ertu?rul (translated as Resurrection: Ertu?rul) is a historical drama that aired from December 10, 2014, to May 29, 2019. Spanning five seasons, it follows the journey of Ertu?rul Bey, the father of Osman I, who established the Ottoman Empire.
It turns out, many Indians had the same reaction!
One amused viewer commented, "This is no joke. The first time I saw Dogan Bey in Ertugrul, I thought, 'What's Kohli doing in a Turkish series?' The resemblance is scary."
Another joked, "Nepotism getting outta hand."
And a third referenced Kohli's wife, Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma's movie: "What's more hilarious is that Anushka will still not recognize him¡ because of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi."
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is in action for RCB in the ongoing IPL 2025 season. He played a crucial role in the team's opening match against KKR, scoring an unbeaten 59 off 36 balls.
Interestingly, the Royal Challengers are still chasing their maiden IPL title and remain one of the three original franchises yet to lift the trophy, even after 17 seasons of the game, alongside Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings.
