Virat Kohli is currently cricket's poster boy in world cricket. Cricket's inclusion in the Olympics is also said to be because of him.

Virat Kohli recently won the T20 World Cup in June earlier this year. He then played the ODI series against Sri Lanka where India unfortunately lost the series.

He is currently on a break from international cricket like all his other teammates. He will make a comeback in the Test series against Bangladesh followed by New Zealand and Australia. With India playing a lot of Test cricket in the next few months, Kohli's form is central to India's success in the next few months.

Meanwhile, renowned Bollywood casting director Mukesh Chabbra has recently spoken about Virat Kohli's acting skills in Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast. He said that he is already a good actor and also complimented him for his lifestyle and success.

Virat Kohli Is Already A Good Actor: Mukesh Chabbra

"He is already a good actor. He is from Delhi, a Punjabi guy. He has handled his success with so much grace and how he has maintained himself at every level, be it communication, fitness, looks, health. He is so funny, when he dances, his comic timing is perfect what else do you want" Chabbra said on the podcast.

Virat Kohli retired from T20I cricket after the end of the T20 World Cup. However, he is still playing Test and ODI cricket and has some unfinished business still in the two formats.

He has been a matchwinner for India across formats and has left a rich legacy on the game, especially in Indian cricket.

“This was my last T20 World Cup, this is exactly what we wanted to achieve,” Kohli told the broadcaster after India’s first win in a global tournament after 11 years. One day you feel like you can’t get a run and this happens, God is great. (It is) just the occasion, now or never kind of situation. This was my last T20 game playing for India. We wanted to lift that cup,” he said.

“It’s been a long wait for us, waiting to win an ICC tournament. You look at someone like Rohit (Sharma), he’s played nine T20 World Cups and this is my sixth. He deserves it. It’s been difficult to hold things (emotions) back and I think it’s going to sink in later. It’s an amazing day and I’m thankful,” Kohli added.

He is constantly compared to Sachin Tendulkar for the way he has played the game so far. He has also surpassed Tendulkar's tally of 49 ODI hundreds. He got to 50 ODI hundreds in the last ODI World Cup.

Kohli has a fabulous record against Australia in international cricket. He has scored runs against them in every format. With India touring Australia for a five-match Test series, all eyes will be on Virat Kohli's form with the bat down under. He has scored 8 hundreds and five fifties against Australia in 25 Test matches and scored 2042 at an average of 47.49.
