Indian cricket star Virat Kohli has once again captured the attention of fans and social media with a humorous video showcasing his artistic skills. In the clip, Kohli is seen attempting to draw a Puma cat, which quickly sparked a wave of memes comparing his artwork to the infamous painting by Majnu Bhai, a character from the popular Bollywood movie “Welcome.”
Kohli’s Playful Instagram Post
Kohli shared the video on his Instagram account with a lighthearted caption: “Made a huge mistake asking the cat what he wants for his birthday Just kidding! It’s always a fun time with my best friend on and off the pitch. Happy birthday, @pumaindia Grab some special birthday treats & deals this #PUMABirthdayBash, only at PUMA.com, App & Stores.” This playful message not only added humor to his post but also promoted PUMA’s birthday celebrations, amplifying the meme fest across various platforms.

Fans quickly reacted to the video, drawing parallels between Kohli’s drawing and Majnu Bhai’s iconic artistic style. The comparisons fueled a flurry of humorous posts and comments online, showcasing the cricketing icon’s ability to engage with his audience in a fun and relatable manner.
This isn’t the first time Kohli has used quirky marketing tactics to connect with fans. Last year, he created buzz with a dramatic Black Friday campaign for PUMA India, where he shared images of himself sporting a black eye. The cheeky posts generated excitement and curiosity among fans, making it one of the standout marketing moments in sports advertising.
Upcoming Matches for Kohli
Despite his entertaining social media presence, Kohli’s recent performances on the field have been under scrutiny. He played in the first Test match against Bangladesh but struggled with scores of 6 and 17 runs in both innings. His dismissal in the second innings came via an LBW decision despite an edge off his bat.
Kohli will be looking to bounce back as he prepares for the second Test match against Bangladesh, scheduled from September 27 to October 1 at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. The pressure will be on him to perform as India aims for victory in this crucial series.
