Gurugram (Haryana) [India], January 4 (ANI): Garvit, a look-alike of Indian batting icon Virat Kohli, who went viral on social media after interacting with the 37-year-old during a training session leading upto home ODIs against New Zealand in January, has featured in a new campaign unveiled by Team India's lead sponsor.
