Virat Kohli marks his 35th birthday on November 05, 2023. Kohli, often referred to as the “Chase Master” by fans, stands among the all-time great batsmen in cricket history. His remarkable journey began when he led India to victory in the U19 World Cup in 2008 and made his international debut in the same year.
Since then, Kohli has consistently made headlines with his exceptional ability to score runs. While his early supporters saw his potential for greatness, he has gone on to break records, pursue runs, and carry his team to victories at an unprecedented rate in world cricket.
In Test cricket, Kohli has represented India in 111 matches, amassing 8,676 runs at an average of 49.29. He has scored 29 centuries and 29 half-centuries, with a best score of 254*. He ranks as India’s fifth-highest run-scorer in Test cricket, with Sachin Tendulkar holding the record for the highest runs at 15,921.
