Virat Kohli is undoubtedly among the greatest of all time in cricket history. The right-handed batter first won the ICC U-19 World Cup in 2008 as the Indian U-19 captain and then broke into the senior team.
He took some time before cementing his place in the senior Indian cricket team, but now he is among the world’s best batters. He was the captain of the Indian men’s cricket team in all three formats of international cricket, but he stepped down from the position recently.
Along with #ViratKohli, two more Indian cricketers have got their GOAT Emoji trending
