Virat Kohli – aren’t you making us swoon!

The Indian cricket team captain donned a classic navy blue bandhgala paired with white Jodhpur breeches at his star-studded reception in Mumbai. His look was complete with a pink pocket square and brown leather shoes.

Now, so far, Virat has chosen the traditionally stylish Sabyasachi for all his wedding ceremonies – from Tuscany to New Delhi. And so, probably, that led to this Instagram post from the posh fashion designer.

Err... But that was not it!

Around the same time, the word was out that Virat was styled by internationally trained fashion designer – Raghavendra Rathore.

And as it turned out, it was him. Just look at those breeches – one of the trademarks of the Rathore label.

Sabyasachi (or the team behind his Instagram post) was quick to realise the error. The post was retracted. When The Quint contacted Sabyasachi’s team on whether he styled the cricketer yet again, the answer was no.

Separately, the RR label confirmed that it was in fact them who made Virat dapper for the reception gala!

His lady luck, Anushka Sharma, however, wore a golden lehenga from Sabyasachi!

Sabya Admits To “Confusion”

Minutes after deleting the older post, Sabyasachi put another post on Instagram, appreciating Virat’s “dapper” look in Ragavendra Rathore’s outfit. The post clarified that they had designed a similar outfit earlier and that led to some “confusion”. The post said that Sabya was a huge fan of Rathore and that he “deeply regrets” the error.
