Netizens commented that he should play for India in the future. Some also joked that he can be the replacement of KL Rahul in the India team or Riyan Parag in Rajasthan Royals.

In another video, the young boy even mastered a “helicopter shot” that was made popular by M S Dhoni and Suryakumar Yadav.

In April, Twitter user Gaurav Agarwal (@7Gaurav8), shared a set of artificial intelligence-generated photos that imagined Indian cricketers like Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul, and others as kids. However, many of the pictures retained some features of maturity like facial hair which left an uncanny effect.
