Kohli made his ODI debut in 2008 and was part of the Indian team which won the 2011 World Cup. Despite being a regular in the ODI side, Kohli only played his first Test in 2011 against West Indies in Kingston. But on the disastrous 2011/12 India tour of Australia, in which India's senior batsmen struggled throughout, Kohli stood out, scoring his first Test hundred in Adelaide.[6]

Kohli was the recipient of the ICC ODI Player of the Year award in 2012.[7] SportsPro has rated him the 13th most marketable athlete in the world.[8] In October 2013, against Australia, Kohli smashed the fastest ODI century by an Indian, the seventh fastest ever.[9] In November 2013, he became the top ranked ODI batsman for the first time.[10] Kohli, also received the Man of the Tournament during the 2014 T20 World Cup in Bangladesh.[

Personal life

Virat Kohli was born on 5 November 1988 in Delhi to Prem and Saroj Kohli.[12] He has an elder brother, Vikash, and an elder sister, Bhavna.[13] Kohli attended school at Vishal Bharti and Savier Convent. His father, Prem, worked as a lawyer and died in December 2006.[12] He loves the Aston Martin, Ed Hardy shirts and is the only Indian cricketer with heavily tattooed arms (a Golden Dragon on his forearm is apparently for luck).
