The consistency that has produced Kohli, who is recognised as one of the world’s top batsmen, a genuinely unparalleled and prolific batsman of our time, has earned him a great deal of admiration. Among his fans, the great sportsman is known as “Chase Master,” “Run Machine,” and “King Kohli.” Kohli has achieved a number of milestones and garnered numerous honours as a result of his dedication, discipline, and, most importantly, resolve.
Kohli rose to attention after leading India to triumph at the Under-19 Cricket World Cup in Malaysia in 2008, after making his debut for the Delhi Under-15 squad in the Polly Umrigar Trophy in 2002. As he rose through the ranks, Kohli accomplished a number of things that helped not only India’s cricketing prowess, but also theirs.
