Know about Virat Kohli, India's most eligible bachelor

New Delhi: Of late, Virat Kohli has been celebrating milestones with the repose of a mystique, something unthinkable in his insolent younger days. Born 5 November 1988, Kohli made his One Day International debut in 2008 and was part of the Indian team which won the 2011 World Cup. Despite being a regular in the ODI side, Kohli only played his first Test in 2011 against West Indies in Kingston. But on the disastrous India tour of Australia, in which India's senior batsmen struggled throughout, Kohli stood out, scoring his first Test hundred in Adelaide. The success that Virat Kohli is enjoying now is hard-fought. He toiled hard at the field. Even in the state of severe mental trauma, Kohli maintained his calm and performed. In 2006 Kohli had to bat against Karnataka in a Ranji Trophy match when he got the shocking news of his father's death. His coach Raj Kumar then reminded him of his father's dream. Despite the bad news he batted in the match and scored 90. After the match he went home and lit his father's pyre. His mother Saroj said that his father's death transformed him completely. He became mature and started focusing on the game completely. He worked harder than ever as he had to fulfill his father's dream. He dedicated his life to cricket. Kohli captained the victorious Indian team at the 2008 U/19 Cricket World Cup held in Malaysia. Batting at number 4, he scored 235 runs in 6 matches at an average of 47, including a century against the West Indies U-19s. Kohli was instrumental in India's win of the 2009 Emerging Players Tournament in Australia. In the final against South Africa, Kohli scored a century and India went on to win the game by 17 runs. Kohli was named vice-captain of the ODI side for the tri-series against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe in June 2010 as all the other first-choice players skipped the tournament. In the same series, he became the fastest Indian to score 1,000 runs in ODI cricket. During the just concluded tri-series in the West Indies Dhoni got injured in first match so kohli lead the team in the remaining matches. He became first time captain of Indian ODI team. Kohli was the recipient of the ICC ODI Player of the Year award in 2012. SportsPro has rated him the 13th most marketable athlete in the world. When Virat Kohli was in school he fell in love with a senior. Despite several attempts he could not put his feeling across the girl. He finally approached his friend and scribbled his feelings in a letter. When the girl read the letter she got furious. She tore the paper at his face. The broken-hearted cricketer decided to never fall in love again. Here is a complete list of all international centuries scored by Virat Kohli.
