Fact Check- 

We began our investigation with a keyword search on Google to find relevant articles about Virat Kohli posing with tattoos of the ICC and T20 World Cup trophies on his arm, but we were unable to find any of them. This is unusual because an update from such a well-known cricketer would have definitely sparked widespread media coverage.

Next, we conducted reverse image search, and found the same image on the twitter handle of the Crictracker. The caption of the tweet indicates that the image is not real. It asks “What if Virat Kohli won all these ICC trophies and proudly displayed them?”  “How many ICC trophies has your favorite cricketer won?”

We also found that the account shared multiple images of other cricketers with trophies tattooed on their arms.
