Virat Kohli is an Indian cricketer who plays international cricket for Team India. A right-handed top-order batsman and a part-time bowler, Kohli represents Delhi in domestic cricket and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League.

Last year, the right-handed batsman broke the world record for most ODI centuries and now has 50 tons in the format. He has also scored over 13000 runs in the 50-over format in addition to scoring over 12000 runs in Tests and T20Is combined.

Virat Kohli's mother:

Virat Kohli was born to Prem Kohli and Saroj Kohli in New Delhi. While his father Prem was a criminal lawyer, Virat Kohli's mother, Saroj was a homemaker. Saroj lost her husband Prem in 2006 when he tragically passed away after suffering a heart attack.

Before that, Prem had suffered a stroke that had left him paralyzed. He was bedridden for weeks before passing away. Later in an interview, Kohli revealed the reason behind his father's health deterioration. The former India skipper revealed that his father fell ill after losing a lot of money in stock trading.

Saroj is a mother to three children - sons Virat and Vikas and daughter Bhawna. All of her three kids are already married. While Virat is married to Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, Vikas is married to Chetna. On the other hand, Bhawna is married to Sanjay Dhingra.

Virat Kohli's mother played a huge role in his career. While father Prem was busy earning a livelihood for the family, Saroj made sure to manage the kids at home. After the passing away of Kohli Senior, the family struggled financially. However, Saroj stood like a strong pillar and made sure that her children continued pursuing their careers.

The Kohli family lived in New Delhi until 2015 before moving to Gurgaon. While Kohli's mother resides in Gurgaon, he along with his wife and kids lives in Mumbai.
