Ed Sheeran performed concerts in six cities in India, including Delhi, Pune, and Bengaluru, in January and February earlier this year.
He collaborated with popular Indian artists like Armaan Malik and Diljit Dosanjh. Sheeran also filmed a music video in India, featuring a cameo from the legendary actor and principal owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders – Shah Rukh Khan.
Coming to the doppelganger, his eerie resemblance to Sheeran managed to confuse fans as well as the commentators.
India are fighting tooth and nail to avoid a defeat on the final day of the Manchester Test. The Asian giants have lost the wickets of KL Rahul and Shubman Gill on Day 5 for individual scores of 90 and 103, respectively. Since their dismissals, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja have smashed half-centuries and helped India take a lead in the second innings, which forces England to bat again in the Test match.
With 30-odd overs left in the day, England are in desperate need of wickets as a win in the fourth Test will help them take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series with a game to spare.
