But, how much of it is true? To be honest, it is far from the truth as Kohli does not promote any such kind of product.
Delhi: Virat Kohli is easily one of the most popular cricketers of the generation and hence whatever he does, makes news. In a world where social media dominates, a lot of rumour mongering happens. Kohli, who is on a personal break currently, found himself in the middle of a scam. Digital scammers are exploiting a clip of Kohli by creating fake advertisements using deepfake technology. The ads promote a betting application, falsely claiming that the former India captain endorses high returns from small investments. The clip that has gone viral shows Kohli speaking in Hindi to woo new fans.
But, how much of it is true? To be honest, it is far from the truth as Kohli does not promote any such kind of product. Time and again, Kohli has been someone who has played the game in the right spirit and endorsing a betting app is surely not something he would ever associate himself with.
Here is the clip that is now going viral. Just to make the clip look authentic, there is a popular anchor who has been added to the clip.
क्या ये सच में @anjanaomkashyap मैम और विराट कोहली हैं? या फिर यह AI का कमाल है?
अगर यह AI कमाल है तो बेहद खतरनाक है। इतना मिसयूज? अगर रियल है तो कोई बात ही नहीं। किसी को जानकारी हो तो बताएँ।@imVkohli pic.twitter.com/Q5RnDE3UPr

Meanwhile, this is the first time since his debut that Kohli is missing the whole series.
India are currently leading in the Test series by 2-1 and now the focus will shift on fourth Test match which will be played at JSCA Stadium in Ranchi and this will be a do-or-die match for England and on the other hand, hosts India will look to win the match to seal the five-Test match series.
