Once Virat Kohli had to fake injury just to make sure Shreyas Iyer doesn't gets drop from ODIs XI with so much unfairness.
I mean they were literally dropping India's best no.4 of last 1 decade & then when he played in Virat's place he showed Gambhir that never ever again make mistake of doubting my place in XI.
Later on, Shreyas Iyer went on to become India's highest run scorer in Champions Trophy then set the IPL 2025 on fire that is where his T20I captaincy debate started. Love you Virat for always standing by Shreyas♥️
Gill – 19 💯
Rahul – 22 💯
Rohit – 50 💯
Kohli – 85 💯
The gap between Gill and Rohit is 31 100s & the gap between Rahul and Rohit is 28 100s.
The gap between Rohit and Kohli is 35 100s...Just a reminder that there are levels to this game.
RCB IN THE LAST 17 GAMES WHEN VIRAT KOHLI SCORED 50+ IN IPL:

Got a tea from RCB’s insiders ☕️👀
This is what reportedly went down last night:
1st ball of the 3rd over: Virat Kohli drives one for four. Right after that, Travis Head tells Pat Cummins to keep bowling outside off because “Kohli will nick one to the slips.”
2nd ball of the 3rd over: Kohli responds with another boundary, stares at Head and says, “You come bowl then, I’ll smash you out of the ground.”
4th ball of the 3rd over: Venkatesh Iyer hits a four, and Kohli fires another one back at Head “If you’re scared to bowl, then sit in the dugout as the impact sub like you always do.”
After the 5th ball of the 4th over: Venkatesh had already launched two back-to-back sixes and a total of 22 runs in that over. Head was visibly frustrated with the constant verbal battle from Kohli, and instead of replying directly to him, he allegedly made a personal remark towards Iyer, calling him “more feminine and girly than an actual girl” because of his batting style.
That comment crossed the line completely and made Kohli furious. When Kohli ignored Head during the post-match handshake, many inside the camp felt it was fully justified. There’s a difference between competitive banter and disrespect. At the end of the day, standing up for your teammate and maintaining self-respect matters far more than maintaining a temporary public image. 👏
Ravi Ashwin - "If Virat Kohli is saying that he doesn’t need to prove his worth to anyone, then he is right. There’s nothing left for him to prove to anybody. My thought process was the same too, who do I even have to prove anything to? After playing for so many years and winning many games for India, who does he still need to prove to?". (Ash Ki Baat).
Whenever I see players missing matches due to injury, my respect for Kohli goes sky high. You can blindly trust that he’ll play the match on the given day.
🚨 NO ONE REACH CLOSE TO VIRAT KOHLI IN TEST CAPTAINCY 🚨
Question: Who is the greatest Test captain in your generation?
Steve Smith Said 🗣️, "In my generation, there was no captain in Test cricket who could compete with Virat Kohli. He was truly an outstanding captain in Test cricket. Whenever we came to play in India, we already knew how tough it would be to play there, and that we would probably lose the series. We suffered one-sided series defeats in India, and most importantly, Virat Kohli’s overseas record itself proves how great a captain he was in Test cricket. India even came to Australia twice in a row and defeated Australia on their home soil. That had never happened before. It happened for the first time under Virat Kohli’s leadership. Virat Kohli’s aggressive captaincy was incredible. He created a new legacy in world Test cricket. Truly, Virat Kohli was an extraordinary captain in Test cricket. There is no doubt about that."
Most 220+ totals this season-
Wankhede -- 8
Chandigarh -- 4
Jaipur -- 4
.
.
Chinnaswamy -- 1
Wankhede is a batting paradise with the tiniest boundaries, but its Chinnaswamy which is infamous just to discredit Kohli's achievements.
A mind-boggling stat:
From the 2012 WT20 to the 2016 WT20, Virat Kohli played 29 T20Is for India.
India won 21 of them, and Kohli was named MOTM in 9.
5 MOTM in WT20s
2 in the Asia Cup
2 in Australia (2016)
The greatest T20I peak ever.
