In the 21st century, it is impossible to talk about cricket without bringing up Virat Kohli. The former Indian captain has always exhibited consistency, grace, and persistence. When the 2011 World Cup started, Kohli, a young and talented batter, was crucial in leading India to the final match.
He displayed his composure and toughness over a total of 9 matches, scoring 282 runs overall with an 82.21 strike rate. The whole cricketing community praised him for his aggressive batting style and ability to lead the innings.
Now that he is an experienced veteran, Kohli will be a difficult opponent at the 2023 World Cup. The Run Machine is ready to take the lead from the front due to his exceptional fitness and sheer hunger for runs. While his bat will be expected to do the majority of the talking, his captaincy will be crucial in leading India’s young stars.
