A prolific batsman, he has broken and created new records.
At 28, Virat has already scored 39 International centuries to go along with his 66 half centuries across the three formats.
Apart from being a member of the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup victorious squad, Virat also found success in the age-group level.

"Haazme ki Goli, Rangon ki Holi,Gujarat me Ghagra Choli
Aur Batting mein Virat Kohli Poore India ko pasand hai
#HappyBirthdayVirat @imVkohli," Sehwag said.
