IPL: Ranking top 10 players tattoos

2. Virat Kohli {9/10}

Virat Kohli is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, batters of all time in the Indian Premier League, and his records justify the same. He is the leading run-scorer in the tournament with 6903 runs in 229 games at an average of 36.72 and a strike rate of 129.63, including five centuries and 48 half-centuries.

Kohli is the only player who has participated in the tournament since its inception and has played for a single franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore. He was the only player retained by RCB in 2011 and was appointed as the skipper as well.

Kohli has some iconic tattoos which reflect his personality and his beliefs. They are a reminder of his past, present, and future and have become an integral part of his identity as a cricketer and a leader. His first tattoo is a tribal art design on his right forearm representing his aggression, as he got it to show the world that he was cool. Kohli's Zodiac sign, Scorpio, is inked on his right bicep, symbolizing his strong-willed personality and his courage to handle difficulties with bravery and push forward for success.

He has tattoos of Lord Shiva and a monastery on his left forearm, with Lord Shiva representing the attributes he wishes to destroy in himself and the monastery representing peace and power to remind himself to keep calm and focused on the field.

He has the names of his parents, Saroj and Prem, inked on his arms. He also has his ODI as well as Test debut cap number on the upper side of his left hand. The tattoo of a Japanese Samurai represents the Bushido code, which comprises seven virtues that he believes he shares, as he had to fight for everything he has achieved in his life so far. Virat's latest tattoo represents, "interconnectedness of all things, the source of creation, higher ones and oneness."

His god's eye tattoo serves as a reminder for him that someone is always watching him from the heavens and reminds him of the essence of life, while his Om tattoo symbolizes the universality of the Om sound and reminds him to remain humble.
