Born on November 5, 1988, Kohli made his international debut at the age of 19 against Sri Lanka in Dambulla and has been an integral part of the international setup since.
Kohli has come a long way now — from leading the country’s U-19 team to World Cup glory back in 2008 to leading the senior team in dominating the world of cricket in all forms of the game.

Virat Kohli has represented India in 86 Tests, 248 ODIs, and 82 T20Is and is counted among the greatest cricketers of all time. Kohli is loved by millions across the world for his majestic batting. Currently leading the world in run-making, Kohli is by far the best all-formats batsman in the world.
Here are some of the wishes for Virat Kohli on Twitter:
When you have 70 centuries and 104 fifties, it's easy for a 35-run knock to be forgotten!
But this shouldn't be – coming in at 31/2 in a CWC final, a young Virat Kohli held his own to play a crucial role in 🇮🇳's win 🙌
Is this underrated knock among his top three in ODIs? pic.twitter.com/5CwGwja2sb
