Kohli has been the rock of the Indian batting line-up for over a decade and played the anchor role to perfection. His presence at the crease allows stroke makers to play with freedom. The Delhi-born has also shown his leadership might on the cricket field and has led India to many glorious triumphs across formats. He is India’s most successful Test captain, leading the Men in Blue to 40 wins in 68 matches.
