Evidently inspired by the procedure, the Pakistani artist decided to follow the same to develop a shadow art of Kohli.
As seen in the video, the man took out a cardboard box and went on to draw the outline on its lid. Once done, he used scissors to cut off the outlined image, where Kohli could be seen smashing a six in his iconic posture.
The artist then glued the cut-out on the box before adding some other elements to his piece.
As he rotated the box, an amazing shadow of Kohli appeared on the wall.
The artwork unquestionably left X users in awe.
Several Indian fans marked their presence in the comment section, showering plaudits on the Pakistani artist for his exceptional talent.

Earlier, an Indian artist named Shintu Mourya created a shadow portrait of Kohli by using only matchboxes and sticks.
Mourya shared his artwork on Instagram.
He made the outline with a number of thin wooden strips and attached it to a platform.
When Mourya took the final product against a light source, a smiling face of Kohli emerged on the backdrop.
Kohli is currently involved in the ICC ODI World Cup, underway on Indian soil.
The star Indian batter pulled off a roaring start to the home campaign. In the opening match against Australia, Kohli stepped on the crease at a time when his team was reeling at 2/3.
He partnered with KL Rahul and racked up an inning-reviving 165-run partnership, bringing India back to the contest.
Kohli was dismissed after contributing 85 runs to the scoresheet, while Rahul remained unbeaten at 97 to complete the 200-run chase.
