Showing the dangers of AI (Artificial Intelligence) as a deepfake video of Virat Kohli is doing rounds on social media. In the said video, Kohli is seen talking about Shubman Gill where the legend is criticizing the young batter.

This incident is the second time this year that Kohli has been targeted by deepfake technology. Earlier, another fake video showed him promoting a betting app.

The recent deepfake video employs artificial intelligence to mimic Kohli's speech and facial gestures, implying that he questioned Gill's ability to acquire legendary status in cricket.

The fake voice, designed to resemble Kohli, can be heard saying: "When we came back from Australia, I figured out what it takes to succeed at the highest level. I have been watching Gill closely. He is talented, no doubt. But there's a big gap between showing promise and becoming a legend. Gill's technique is solid, but let's not get ahead of ourselves."

Additionally, the video falsely quotes Kohli asserting his unique status in Indian cricket: "People talk about the next Virat Kohli, but let me be clear, there's only one Virat Kohli. I have faced the toughest bowlers, delivered in the most intense situations, and done it consistently for over a decade. You can't replicate that with just a few good innings."

Despite the incident, Kohli and Gill have excellent chemistry and are frequently seen supporting one other on the field. Kohli is scheduled to return to the India squad next month for a two-match Test series against Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, Shubman Gill will compete in the forthcoming Duleep Trophy, which begins September 5.
