Virat Kohli's Wax Statue Damaged at Madame Tussauds

India cricket captain Virat Kohli, whose wax statue got unveiled at the Madame Tussauds museum in New Delhi on Wednesday was removed from the museum within a day due to some damage.

An official from the museum confirmed the news and cited a probable reason behind it. However, he also added it is once again getting ready for the visitors and will take its place shortly.

“Yes, it was damaged. But now the statue has been rectified,” the official told NDTV.com.

“Kohli’s statue ear was damaged due to some reason. We have fixed it immediately and fans are most welcome to visit the museum to take the photos with the India captain’s statue,” the official added.

Moreover, Kohli has now joined the likes of David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Kapil Dev and Usain Bolt, whose statues are already in the museum.
