Just as the IPL fever got over, the cricket fans around the globe are now looking forward to the ODI series. In order to pump up the excitement among the fans, Facebook has announced the launch of the Virat Kohli AR filter on Instagram. The filter has been created in partnership with Sportsmanias, an industry leader in creating sports emojis and augmented reality (AR) effects.
The new filter is available on both Facebook and Instagram. The users can share the filter on their Facebook or Instagram stories in order to share their support for India and Virat Kohli.
While the filter features Virat Kohli, it has been titled as “Bat Talk for India” on both Facebook and Instagram. Here’s how you can use the filter and share it on your social media stories:
