As Virat Kohli prepares for his final series in Australia later this month, Madame Tussauds Sydney has paid tribute to the cricket great with the unveiling of his wax figure.
The figure, now on display in the Sport Zone until the end of 2025, places Kohli among an illustrious line-up that includes Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Sir Donald Bradman. For fans, it is a chance to stand alongside one of cricket’s modern icons and reflect on a career that has shaped the game worldwide.
Chris Harvey, Operations Manager at Madame Tussauds Sydney, said, “We are excited to welcome Virat Kohli’s figure to Madame Tussauds Sydney. He is one of the most celebrated cricketers of our time, and it is an honour to showcase him alongside legends from both India and Australia. October is an especially exciting month, with so many Indian visitors travelling to Australia for the cricket tour, and we are delighted to offer them the chance to meet wax Kohli during their time in Sydney. This is a very special moment for our attraction and for the sport.”
The unveiling comes at a time when thousands of Indian supporters are travelling to Australia for the tour, offering fans an additional stop on their itinerary to see Kohli immortalised.
Gurnam Singh, Multicultural Ambassador for Cricket Australia, said, “It is with great excitement that I share this wonderful news—Virat Kohli has arrived at Madame Tussauds Sydney! For millions, he is more than a cricketer; he is an icon of passion, dedication and excellence. This is a proud moment for our community and a celebration of a legend who inspires fans across the globe, both on and off the field.”
The display gives admirers of Kohli a chance to celebrate his achievements off the pitch, reflecting on the determination and spirit that have defined his career.
Virat Kohli’s wax figure will remain at Madame Tussauds Sydney throughout the Indian cricket tour.
