The Indian team is always blessed from the greatest batsman of all time. From Gavaskar to the Sachin, from Sachin to the Kohli. Now, Shubman Gill. Kohli established himself into the elite group or amongst the greatest batsman. In 2025, he considered as the all-time greatest batsman in the ODI cricket. He is the all-time greatest white ball cricket. He is a cricket player who is known for his hard work, determination, and competitiveness, passion for cricket. Today he has 14000+ runs in ODI, most century in ODI. One of the best T20 batsman. He has very good records in Test. Most runs and century in the IPL. He has all the ICC tournaments accept Test championship. He won the U19 WC in 2008, ODI WC in 2011, Champions Trophy in 2013 and T20 WC in 2024. And kohli scored some important runs in every winning final. He won the ICC men’s cricketer of the decade and ICC men’s ODI cricketer of the decade and many more.

The arrival of Virat Kohli

First time, I was watched Virat Kohli at TV in Dec 2009 against the Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka comes to India to play the ODI series against the India. Yuvraj Singh were injured and he was out of the paly for the indefinitely time. So, Virat Kohli gets the chance to play. In the first 2 matches he scored 27 and 54 runs and in 4th match he scored century. In that match, Kohli scored his maiden ODI century–107 off 114 balls–while sharing a 224-run partnership for the third wicket with Gambhir. As a result of this performance, India won by seven wickets and sealed the series 3–1. This was the just the arrival of Virat Kohli at International level. And he also scored century in his first WC game against the Bangladesh. In 2012, in tri series, he scored the brilliant 133 runs against the Sri Lanka in Hobart (Aus). He was used to rotate the bat in his hand that’s was his style in early days. The bat was from the Nike. I used to say to my brother, father and my friends that he will be the next Sachin. 

 ODI World Cup 2011

In the captaincy of Dhoni, India was settling team. Indian team has two best openers i.e. Sachin and Sehwag, Gambhir at no. 3, Virat Kohli at 4, best allrounder Yuvraj Singh, Best finisher MS Dhoni, and some hard hitter allrounder Yusuf path an and Raina. Best swing bowlers Zaheer khan, best spinner Harbhajan Singh and Ashwin, Ashish Nehra and Manaf Patel were also the part of this team. Rohit Sharma was also in the race of selection but Virat Kohli selected. At the time Rohit Sharma were middle order batsman. He was very disappointed after ignorance.

The 2011 ODI WC were host by India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The First match for India played against the Bangladesh in Dhaka. In that match. Sehwag hits beautifully 175 runs. And Virat Kohli gets the century. India posts the 370+ runs and win comfortably. India won their QF against the Australia, SF against the Pakistan. Virat does not perform in these matches. India played the Final against the Sri Lanka. After the two wickets (inform Sachin and Sehwag), Virat Kohli make very good partnership with Gautam Gambhir. After the two wickets, whole India were in shock, mujhe lg rha tha ki ab to gye. But that partnership gets the hope to win. That hope is still alive in 2025. And India won the ODI WC after 28 years. In my village, all the people were very happy patakha bhi chhute the, hmne sbne bahut jor se chilaya tha. He earn the believe of every Indian. jabtak Kohli hai, chase ho jayega. That's why we called him Chase master, King, Emperor etc.  

Chase Matser

In ODI (50 overs) cricket, Virat kohli has most 51* century. He has the most 28* century in chase. World called him the chase master. He played so many memorable innings. In 2012, 133 runs against the Sri Lanka, for me that was brilliant innings. In that match, India has to win the match inside the 40 overs (with very good margin for the run rate boost). Sri Lanka score some 320 runs in 50 overs. After that, India gets very good start. But India loses the two wickets (Sachin and Sehwag) at 86/2 9.2 overs. After that, Kohli arrived at crease and start to hitting the bowlers all over the ground. He hits 24 runs in Malinga Over. He played very easily to the Malinga in that match he hits many boundaries. He hits total 16 Fours and 2 sixes in 86 balls, and score 133* runs. This is the just start for something big. 

Fastest ODI hunndred for India in run chase

Virat Kohli has the fastest 100 for India in ODI. In 2013, ODI series against the Australia, One of the best series of my life. Our top order was like Dhawan, Rohit, Kohli. On those days, these three used to bats till the end. We often say:- Dhawan out hoga to Rohit and Kohli marega, agr dono out ho gya to Kohli to hai hi. 

In 2nd match of the series, Australia gets 359 runs in 1st innings, in run chase Rohit and Dhawan gives solid start add 176 runs in just 26 overs. Dhawan out on 95 runs. After the out of Dhawan, Kohli comes and he start to hit all over the ground. he complete the century in just 52 balls with help of 8 fours and 7 sixes. India wins that match in just 43.3 overs. Rohit also scored 141 runs not out in same match.

In the 6th ODI, The Australia Scores 350 runs in 50 overs, and again Rohit and Dhawan gives solid start and add 178 runs in 30 overs. After the out of Rohit Sharma (79 runs), Dhawan gets century. But Kohli was on another level. Again, he gets the century in run chase he scored 115 runs not out in just 66 balls with the help of 18 Fours and 1 six. And India Win the match comfortably. In the 7th ODI, Rohit Sharma got his first double hundred runs.

And some T20 innings, 82* runs against the Australia in 2016, 82 Runs against the Pakistan in 2022, these were just masterpiece in chase. 28 runs from 8 balls and those two sixes against the Haris Rauf. I can’t express the feelings in the word. 49 runs against the Pakistan in Asia cup in 2016. 76 runs in the Final of T20 WC 2024.

Virat Kohli towards the Puja Path and his Personal life

Kohli was born on 5 November 1988 in Delhi into hindu family. His mother Saroj Kohli is as a housewife while his father Prem Nath Kohli worked as a criminal lawyer. He has an elder brother Vikas and an elder sister Bhawna.

Kohli's romantic association with Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, which commenced in 2013, earned the duo the of "Virushka". We have seen many flying kiss in the match. Like he is very expressive. so in love, he express his love in between the thousands of people. 

In Dec, 2017, they married in Italy. They have two children Vamika and Akaay. 

From ignorant to humble. I think, his Wife Anushka Sharma change his life, she changed his personality egoist to the humble. Both of them spot at various temples and ashram. When he was in out of form, he vest to the ashram of Premanand Jii Maharaj (in 2023 and 2025) in Vrindavan. After the visit, he gets some century. (WC 2023 and now in CT 2025). Once Virat Kohli in press conference said that Do I like Puja Path types. Now he is changed person due to his wife. 

Every man deserves a supportive wife who supports in his lean patches or hard time of his life. Who will understand him and take care of his family. Support in his every right decision and protest against the wrong. Who can forgive him after some argument. The same will be applicable to the man (supportive and stand for your wommen in every situation).

Virat Kohli has said, "God has a plan for everyone" and "God has got a plan for everyone". He has also said that you should stay humble, keep believing, and give your 100%. 

• He has said that you should never doubt God's plan, no matter how rich, famous, or successful you are. 
• He has also said that you should be honest with what you are doing and give your 100%. 
• He has also said that you should not repeat old mistakes. 

The Indian team is always blessed the some superstar.
