The creative genius Paul Heyman has gone on social media to tweet something out of his element and something very integral to India. He has posted a picture of Virat Kohli, former captain of Indian cricket team, and has linked it to The Bloodline.
Kohli scored the highest for India in yesterday’s cricket match against Pakistan. Although India won that match, it turned out to be a nail biter to the last ball. He played a superior innings which led to his country’s four – wicket victory against their arch rivals, Pakistan. He won the Man of the Match award as well for scoring 82 runs off 53 balls.
Heyman has shared a screenshot from the match where the cricketer is seen pointing upwards. He wittily linked it to The Bloodline’s similar hand gesture. He claimed that Virat had decided to Acknowledge their Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns in the tweet that has gone viral.
Happy #Diwali Everyone! #WWEkiDiwali

He has also wished everyone a Happy Diwali in the said tweet.
It should be pointed out that this isn’t the first time the special counsel has been involved with the international cricket star. A few years back, he was in a back and forth banter with the official Star Sports India twitter handle. They had used a phrase for Kohli related to Heyman’s previous client Brock Lesnar. He used his incredible wit again to point that out.
I will give props to #KingKohli for his accomplishments, and therefore issue a one-time pardon to @StarSportsIndia for "borrowing" (ahem) from my catchphrase for @BrockLesnar #EatSleepConquerRepeat. Thou art pardoned by decree of #YourHumbleAdvocate. You are most welcome! https://t.co/SRSy39heye

Star Sports played along by calling Kohli, the Beast Incarnate, in their next tweet. Heyman had a befitting reply for that as well.
In order for #KingKohli to even consider being billed as The Beast Incarnate (property of @BrockLesnar, reigning defending undisputed greatest athlete in the world), he would have to have #PaulHeyman as an #Advocate. @StarSportsIndia, I applaud your passion, for I am the #GOAT! https://t.co/d4qFUZbN1b

The Wiseman isn’t the first WWE celebrity to have mentioned Virat Kohli on social media. The 16 time world champion John Cena has posted the cricketer’s photos multiple times on his bizarre instagram.
We don’t know if Kohli is a WWE fan or not. He has never responded in any way to WWE personnel giving him attention. But their posts on him, surely show how big of a celebrity Chiku is on an international scale.
