Virat recalls the most memorable moment of his career so far

Kohli has stated that the most joyful moment of his career so far has been the news of his selection in the senior national team for the first time. Virat Kohli led the India U19 Team that won the U19 World Cup in 2008. Later in the year, he got selected for the senior national side and has been smashing records since then. Virat made his debut against Sri Lanka on 18th August 2008. Though he did not have a grand debut, Virat believes that the news of him being selected in itself was a joyful moment.

“For me, the moment that will always be very dear to me or special is the day that I got selected in the Indian team. I was at home with my mother, watching news, I was getting no information from anywhere and as my name flashed I had no idea what to do,” Kohli said.  “I went berserk, there was no synchronization. I didn’t know whether to sit, stand, run or jump…I think that is one moment that I would multiply eight times any day and replay it,” he further added.

Virat Kohli is simply the greatest batsman of this generation across all formats. Since his debut, he has played a total 84 Test matches and scored 7202 runs at an average of 54.97. In ODIs, he has played 243 matches and scored 11625 runs at an average of 59.61. In T20Is, Virat has played 78 matches and has scored 2689 runs with an average of 52.72.

He is currently the only batsman in world cricket to have an average above 50 in all the formats of the game. He is India’s one of the most successful Test captains. India currently leads the ICC World Test Championship Rankings and a lot of credit goes to Kohli for that. He has converted India into a fierce team that can challenge any opponent and can win all across the globe.
