Virat Kohli is widely regarded as one of the greatest players to have ever graced cricket and is undoubtedly a modern-day great and an Indian cricket legend.
With more than 20,000 international runs under his belt and 82 centuries across all three formats, Kohli is a master of his craft. The legendary batter has been serving the national team for nearly two decades and has played several memorable knocks for the Men in Blue.
Kohli has also won every major international trophy except for the World Test Championship and he also finally got his hands on the elusive Indian Premier League title with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2025 as they beat Punjab Kings in the IPL final this year.

The right-hand batter has already retired from the T20 and the Test formats and is now only active in ODI cricket. He was recently in action for India against Australia in the one-day series.
He had a mixed bag tour down under as he got out for back-to-back ducks in the first ODIs but bounced back with an unbeaten 74 as India ended the series with a 2-1 loss.
On November 5, 2025, Kohli turned 37. His former colleagues and coaches in the national team sent their warm wishes on his special on social media.
