Virat Kohli has been a big gift to Indian cricket as the Indian skipper is among the most consistent performer in world cricket and will be leading India to the maiden World Test Championship final against New Zealand in England next month.
When tries to recollect a young image of Virat Kohli, the memory goes back to him leading India to U-19 World Cup glory as team's captain in 2008 right ahead of the inaugural IPL and soon was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the auction and has been a loyal servant of the franchise ever since.
However, post-Eid celebrations, some unseen rare photos of Virat Kohli emerged from his school days where he could be seen enjoying cricket with his friends while notching up accolades with his performances.

Meanwhile, Kohli is now gearing up to leave for England in a three-month gruelling overseas series. Kohli, who now lives in Mumbai, posted a photo on Instagram of getting vaccinated last week.
The Indian team will be leaving for England on June 2 for a three and a half month tour, comprising of six Test matches including the World Test Championship final against New Zealand.
In order to ramp up the coronavirus vaccination drive in the country, the Centre had last month announced a 'liberalised and accelerated' Phase 3 strategy of COVID-19 vaccination from May 1.
