Amid the ongoing T20 Men's World Cup 2024 Duroflex, an Indian mattress brand, took the initiative of installing a giant statue of Virat Kohli at Times Square. The Indian cricketer is also the brand ambassador of Duroflex. The company shared some glimpses of the statue by posting a video on X (formerly Twitter). The sculpture shows Virat Kohli celebrating a century by lifting his bat.
Virat Kohli is one of the biggest names in cricket. With the International Cricket Council (ICC) trying to popularize the sport in America, a life-size statue of the star batter is a toast to his on-field prowess and adulation of his fans.
The USA is the co-host of the T20 World Cup which is currently underway in the Caribbean islands.
The Indian team featuring Kohli played their first three league matches of the tournament in New York. Fans attended those games at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium to watch Kohli live in action. Now, New York City has a statue of the legendary batter, who has been ruling world cricket for over 15 years.
