In cricket, one of the most important roles that you would have to play would be that of a captain. It means that you would have to lead by example and be the best player you can be, virtually at all times. That is surely a tough job. Luckily, several persons have risen to the occasion and have become some of the best players in the sport. One of them is the man who is often known as Chikoo. He is the captain of the Indian team and is probably one of the best cricket players of all time. His name is Virat Kohli.
When it comes to top-order right-handed Batmen, there is probably no equal to this guy. Currently, 30 years as he was born in 1988, he has achieved so much admiration during his time playing cricket. By August 2017, he becomes the number one ranked player in the ICC ranking in terms of ODI. He has not lost that position ever since. He plays for his club Royal challengers in the Indian premier league and his statistics are simply fabulous. Listing out most of his achievements would take forever. When it comes to cricket, this is one guy that Indians would surely be proud of.
The first achievements which are noteworthy are the test series record which he holds as an Indian. There is no Indian player, dead or alive who has a better test rating than Virat Kohli. His current test rating stands as about 911 making him the high Indian player ever. 897 is his point overall for T20 competitions putting him also at the peak of the players. What an unbelievable feat.
He also holds the record for 50+ scores in the cricket World cup. About five of those scores came in the last tournament which was held in 2019. If you are looking for a cricket player who has grasped the three biggest awards in one year, then the man you are looking for is Virat Kohli. He managed to win ODI, Test and the ICC cricket of the year in one year. It has never been done before. He also became the fastest Indian to attain the 1000 runs, a breathtaking achievement.
Taking more about runs, he is the fastest ever player in the entire game and world to reach the highest runs namely 8000, 11,000 and so on. He is the leader. He is also the undisputed leader in all competitions as he is the only one that has managed to keep an average of 50 across all competitions. He has simply been electric.
These are just a pinch of the glorious record which this man has over the world of cricket. Watching him play is probably one of the gifts that this era would have. There is no way that you can mention cricket and how it’s players without mentioning Virat Kohli. He is that good.
