With every passing day, Virat Kohli is making the world to fall for him even more. It looks like he can achieve anything on the cricket field. When Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar ticked to his hundredth hundred, everyone thought no one can scale to this mountain. And it has been only seven years since then and Kohli has crossed the two-thirds of this journey.
The extended purple patch of Indian skipper seems never getting fade away any moment soon. He is scoring tons of runs since the commencement of 2016 and broke several records in the meantime. The world has run out of adjectives to describe his greatness and they are not shy in admitting this fact.
