On November 5, 1988, in Delhi, Virat Kohli was born into a Punjabi Hindu household. His mother Saroj Kohli was a homemaker, and his father Prem Kohli practiced criminal law. He has an older sister named Bhawna and an older brother named Vikas. Uttam Nagar was the place where Kohli spent his early years. He attended Vishal Bharti Public School for his early schooling.As per his relatives, Kohli showed an early fondness for cricket at the age of three. He'd pick up a cricket bat, show off his natural ability, and ask his dad to bowl to him.
A feisty, plump adolescent with gelled hair gained notoriety after leading India to victory in the Kuala Lumpur Under-19 World Cup in early 2008. In an Indian squad full of saintly figures deserving of their own biographies, Virat Kohli, in all his 'bad-boy' zeal, would undoubtedly be an outsider\
According to the ICC rankings for ODI batsmen in 2013, Kohli was the top player. He became the first Indian cricket player to be ranked number one in all three formats of the game in 2018 when he was named the best Test batsman. In a decade, he is the first player to reach 20,000 runs scored..
The 20-year-old plainly showed that he belonged at a far better level and that junior cricket was below his standards as he continued to shine for Delhi and led assaults. Then, in 2009, Kohli went to Australia for the Emerging Players tournament, where he firmly established his dominance over bowling attacks. In the championship match against South Africa, he demonstrated his "big-match temperament" by hitting a smooth century and leading his team to a convincing win. The youthful prodigy, who was only old enough to collect his man-of-the-match champagne, made sure the selectors would not forget him by finishing the tournament with 398 runs from 7 games, including two hundreds and two fifties.
Cricketer Virat Kohli hails from India. As of November 2023, he was a top order batsman with 80 hundreds in international cricket: 29 in Test matches, 50 in One Day Internationals (ODIs), and one in Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). 80 centuries have been achieved by Virat Kohli in international cricket.
In the World Cup, Virat Kohli became the second Indian player to reach 1500 runs, behind Sachin Tendulkar.
