Virat Kohli burst into the limelight as India's 2008 U-19 Cricket World Cup winning captain in Malaysia. Kohli was picked up by RCB as their first draft choice before the first season of the IPL and was the only player retained by the team in 2011.
Kohli is also the team's most capped player with 70 appearances and leads the overall run tally for them with 1467 runs.
His ODI debut came in 2008 and Virat Kohli locked his spot in the Indian team despite intense competition with assured performances against opposition such as SL, NZ, Aus and SA. The stylish right hand batsman is currently the fastest Indian batsman to reach 1000 runs in ODIs and is far ahead of his teammates in terms of averages when it comes to successful ODI chases.
An electric fielder, Virat Kohli usually mans the point area and is also a canny medium pacer. His captaincy chops too are evident having ably led Delhi in the Ranji Trophy and Royal Challengers Bangalore for a few matches in IPL4 in addition to his U-19 World Cup victory.
