This avatar is known to be the  Kalki Avatar of Lord Vishnu. The Kalki avatar is said to come during the end of Kalyug.

Lord Vishnu’s Dash-avatars

Lord Vishnu came on earth to kill Ravana as Lord Rama in Treta Yuga. But he only became Shree Krishna to end the evil deeds of Kansa in Dwapar Yuga. Moreover, he became Narsimha in Satya Yuga. Because of his ten reincarnations, Lord Vishnu is called “Dashavatara”. His other reincarnations were: Buddha, Matsya, Kurma, Vaman, Varaha and Parshurama. No matter which Yuga it was, he came as a different reincarnation to take a win over evil. Also, per our Vedic scriptures, his every rebirth has been brought on earth at the end of every Yuga or era. Some people tend to believe that the kalki avatar is already on earth. However, we are not sure if this is true or not.
