When Virat Kohli scored his first century against Sri Lanka in 2009 at Eden Gardens, it gave us a strong hunch that he is destined for greatness. The Indian team management backed him a lot and it turned out to be a pure masterstroke decision, that shaped the way for a better future of Indian cricket. Kohli picked up lessons on the go and perfected the art of scoring runs on a consistent basis, a trait that perfectly followed him like a shadow.

There was no stopping him ever since he discovered his route to becoming one of the best in the business. The right-handed batsman kept scripting records and made the nation proud, while also carving out a reputation for himself. The more games he played, the better he worked on his technique in shaping a career for success. Today, he is not only India’s greatest batter but is also the best batsman across all three formats of the game.
