VIRAT KOHLI

                                                                                indian cricketer


Virat Kohli, the epitome of aggressive sportsmanship, was born on November 5, 1988, in Delhi into a Punjabi family. His father, Prem Kohli, worked as a criminal lawyer and his mother, Saroj Kohli, is a housewife. He has an elder brother, Vikash, and an elder sister, Bhavna. He studied at Vishal Bharti Public School and was raised in Uttam Nagar, Delhi.

In ninth grade, he shifted to Savier Convent in Paschim Vihar to help his cricket practice. Apart from sports, Kohli was good at academics as well, and his teachers remember him as “a bright and alert child“. Kohli’s family lived in Meera Bagh until 2015 when they moved to Gurgaon. Kohli was appointed the vice-captain of the ODI team in 2012 and handed over the Test captaincy following Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Test retirement in 2014. In March 2013, Kohli started a charity foundation called Virat Kohli Foundation (VKF). The organisation aims at helping underprivileged kids and conducts events to raise funds for the charity. In early 2017, he became the limited-overs captain as well after Dhoni stepped down from the position. In ODIs, Kohli has the second highest number of centuries and the highest number of centuries in run-chases in the world. 

See how did Virat Kohli's life changed after his father's death:




Kohli started dating Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma in 2013; the couple soon earned the celebrity couple nickname "Virushka".  The couple married on 11 December 2017 in a private ceremony in Florence, Italy. On 27th August 2020, Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma have announced that they are expecting their first child arriving in January 2021
