Cricketers reimagined as Panchayat series characters: Who would get which role?

2. Virat Kohli – Sachiv Ji (Abhishek Tripathi):

India's modern-day batting great Virat Kohli fits the role of Sachiv Ji. Much like Abhishek Tripathi from Phulera, Kohli is deeply involved in everything around him and is often vocal, bold, and never one to shy away from a confrontation. Whether it's a tense on-field exchange or a tough decision for the team, Kohli brings the same fire and energy that Sachiv Ji has in the village politics.

Both characters are dynamic and hands-on, often caught in situations over their control and are often involved in controversies unintentionally, yet they never back down from speaking their truth. Just as Sachiv Ji has a short temper and puts his point across bluntly, Kohli’s aggression has often become the headline. In terms of emotions, they share close bonds with their respective seniors. For Sachiv, it’s Pradhan Ji; for Kohli, it’s MS Dhoni, who backed him during his early years.
