In a decision resonating with the euphoria of India’s semi-final victory in the Cricket World Cup and Virat Kohli’s extraordinary feat of completing 50 centuries in one-day cricket, a wax statue immortalizing the star cricketer is poised to join the distinguished ensemble at the Wax Museum within Jaipur’s Nahargarh Fort.

From Clay Model to Lifelike Resplendence

Over the course of the next month, skilled artisans will meticulously craft the complete wax statue, ensuring an accurate and lifelike representation. Kohli’s aggressive image on the cricket field has been meticulously incorporated into the statue’s design.

Anup Srivastava’s Vision Realized

Captain Cool and Beyond: A Cricketing Pantheon

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, fondly known as the ‘Captain Cool’ of cricket, already graces the Jaipur Wax Museum with his wax likeness. The addition of Virat Kohli’s statue further cements the museum’s dedication to preserving the legacy of India’s cricketing legends. The museum’s diverse collection also features a recently installed wax statue paying homage to Swami Vivekananda.
