Known to wear his heart on the sleeve, Kohli has never shied away from a battle on the field and despite his regular brush with controversies, the star remains one of the most popular cricketers.
Fans invading the pitch to touch his feet and take selfies remain regular occurrences at Indian venues.
He is also fabulously wealthy, leading India's list of highest-paid athletes with earnings of $33.9 million mainly from brand endorsements, according to analysts Sportico's 2022 list.
Kohli went through an extended lean patch that spread across since 2021, failing to reach three figures in over 1,000 days.
He hit his first hundred after a gap of 1,020 days in the 2022 T20 World Cup and has not looked back.
