Dressed in Indian colours with number 18 on his back, the waxwork Kohli is standing in a batting pose opposite Indian bowling legend Kapil Dev. Other sporting stars immortalised at Madame Tussauds in Delhi include Lionel Messi, David Beckham and former Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar.
Madame Tussauds unveiled a wax statue of Indian cricketer Virat Kohli on Wednesday, which drew large crowds, but was accidentally damaged on the same day.
