Star India batter Virat Kohli joined the viral “2016” trend on social media, sharing a nostalgic post that quickly drew attention from fans and fellow celebrities. The trend has seen users post throwback images from a decade ago, revisiting moments that marked a defining phase in their personal or professional lives.

Kohli shared an old photograph from a brand promotion shoot in which he is seen dressed in a blue denim shirt, jeans, and white sneakers. Captioning the image on his X (formerly Twitter) account, he wrote, “Throwback to 2016. Different year. Same wrong energy,” referencing his long association with the clothing brand and evoking memories of his peak years during that period.

The post resonated strongly with fans, many of whom associate 2016 with one of the most successful phases of Kohli’s cricketing career. That year, the former India captain produced several memorable performances across formats and established himself as one of the world’s leading batters, making the throwback particularly meaningful to followers.
