Virat Kohli made his ODI debut in 2008 and displayed potential from a young age. The right-handed batter has become an integral part of the Indian setup over the past 15 years. Kohli has achieved many milestones in his illustrious 15-year international career.

The 34-year-old was a part of India’s victorious campaign on home soil in 2011. He is now hoping to add one more ODI World Cup title. Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin have the opportunity to become the only two Indian cricketers to win the World Cup twice.

The Delhi-born cricketer will be seen in action during the Rohit Sharma-led team’s first warmup match at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Saturday, September 30. The team will then play against the Netherlands in Thiruvananthapuram on October 3.
