Thanks to a ‘mysteriously’ leaked video, Virat Kohli’s beard is one of the top trends in social media. Apparently, the man is getting his beard insured.
Well, that had to happen, I mean look at that immaculate beardscaping.
A leaked footage surfaced on Youtube in which two men can be seen taking photos, measurements, plucking a hair of his beard as sample. At the end of the video, Kohli also signs a document.
#ViratInsuresBeard started trending on Twitter and it caught the eye of teammate KL Rahul. He poked fun at Kohli by sharing the video and revealing Kohli’s obsession for his beard.
Haha, I knew you were obsessed with your beard @imVkohli but this news of you getting your beard insured confirms my theory. pic.twitter.com/cUItPV8Rhy

Soon enough Virat’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) teammates Yuzvendra Chahal and Umesh Yadav joined in and trolled their captain over the rumour.
The captain of all things cool both on and off the field! Curious to find out what this is all about #viratinsuresbeard

Just heard @imVkohli got his beard insured. The story between the legend and his beard continues! Always seen him protective about it, but didn’t expect this. #ViratBeardInsurance

Kohli took his time and took the banter head on terming the rumours as ‘entertaining’.
The talk around my beard is quite entertaining. @klrahul11, @buntysajdeh, @yuzi_chahal, @y_umesh it’s popcorn time boys #ViratBeardInsurance
