You don’t always meet your likeness, that too after you went viral during Chief Minister Vijay’s swearing-in ceremony. Anshul Kamboj finally got to meet his doppelganger and the CSK star was all smiles as he met the cop.
While the focus remained firmly on the swearing-in ceremony of Tamil Nadu’s new chief minister, CSK fans found themselves distracted by an unexpected match in the crowd. A police officer stationed near the stage quickly spread on social media due to his uncanny resemblance to Chennai Super Kings pacer Anshul Kamboj, fans were convinced they had spotted the fast bowler at the event.
The buzz surrounding the ‘police version’ of Kamboja soon erupted online and Ravichandran Ashwin added to the fun with one of his signature witty reactions directed at his CSK teammates. CSK themselves joined the joke shortly after, playfully clarifying that the real Anshul Kamboj was busy with the team in Chepauk ahead of their clash against LSG later in the day.
Kamboj first talked about his resemblance in the video and admitted that there are a lot of similarities between the two men. The CSK star said he could judge him better if the hat wasn’t there.
“Actually, almost everyone sent me this meme on my Instagram too, so I was like, I was, I’m just telling them, no, I’m not. Everyone’s just asking me, what are you doing there, what are you doing there? I don’t know what. But he actually looks a little like me, not quite. Maybe when he takes his cap off, I’ll see more.
CSK revealed that Kamboj was indeed able to meet the officer and the two men shared a laugh and chat with him during training.

CSK will face LSG in their next match on Friday, May 15.
