Virat Kohli Biography
Prem and Saroj Kohli welcomed Virat into the world on November 5, 1988, in Delhi, India. His mother is a stay-at-home mom, while his father practised criminal law. Raised in Uttam Nagar, Delhi, he went to Saviour Convent and Vishal Bharti Public School. On December 18, 2006, Kohli’s father passed away from cardiac arrest after being bedridden for a month.
Virat Kohli’s Cricket Career
Kohli was trained by Rajkumar Sharma as a member of the inaugural class of the 1998 West Delhi Cricket Academy.
In the 2002–03 Polly Umrigar Trophy, Kohli made his cricket debut in October 2002 with the Delhi Under-15 side. He went on to lead the team to win the following trophy. Later, he was chosen for the Delhi Under-17 squad that competed in the Vijay Merchant Trophy in 2003–04, winning the competition with the highest run total.
Captaincy
2010 saw the appointment of Raina as skipper and Kohli as vice-captain for the tri-series in Zimbabwe. He became the first Indian batter to 1,000 ODI runs during this time.
As a result of his outstanding performance in Australia, he was named vice-captain for the 2012 Asia Cup.
When Dhoni hurt himself during the game, Kohli took over as captain of the West Indies tri-series winning team in 2013. Additionally, he led India to victory in a five-match ODI trip to Zimbabwe, which they won 5-0—their first-ever away ODI series.
Awards
India’s government awarded Kohli the Arjuna Award in 2013, which is the country’s second-highest athletic accolade. India’s fourth-highest civilian honour, the Padma Shri, was bestowed upon Kohli in 2017. India’s top athletic accolade, the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award (now known as the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award), was given to him in 2018. In 2019, a stand at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium was christened in Kohli’s honour.
