Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli (born 5 November 1988, Delhi) is one of the greatest modern cricketers. He started playing cricket at a young age and trained at the West Delhi Cricket Academy. His dedication became evident early—famously, he played a Ranji Trophy match the day after his father’s death, showing remarkable mental strength.

He rose to fame after captaining India to victory in the 2008 Under-19 World Cup. Soon after, he made his international debut in ODIs and gradually became a key player. He was part of the team that won the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 under MS Dhoni.
