Earlier this month, Kohli completed 18 years in international cricket, having made his India debut on August 18, 2008.
A boy from West Delhi, who grind it out in domestic cricket and brought the U19 World Cup glory home in 2008, made his India debut against Sri Lanka, scoring 12 on debut. But what seemed to be a forgettable debut turned out to be one of sport's greatest stories of transformation, hunger, passion and resilience.
Since his debut, Virat has scored over 28,000 international runs, scored 85 centuries and has the entire world counting down each hundred that will make him the second batter to reach the mark of 100 international tons after Sachin Tendulkar. With every trophy from the U19 World Cup to the IPL to his name, Virat is the only player to have won every major white-ball title in sport's history.
Kohli also holds the distinction of having won the most ICC Awards with a total of 10.
