This Delhi-born star batsman has ruled the hearts of millions of fans across the world with his ability and passion. Even though his age is increasing, the enthusiasm of Kohli’s bat is still the same. Recently, his brilliant inning of 74 runs played in the Sydney ODI against Australia once again proved that ‘King Kohli’ is still India’s most reliable batsman.
