Virat Kohli

My role model is the nation’s heart throb, ace cricketer, Virat Kohli. His dedication towards his work and his love for his family is what I love about him. He inspires me on both personal and professional level.

Virat Kohli, the current Indian National Cricket team’s captain was born in November 1988. He is one of the best batsmen of India. He has been ranked as one of the world’s most famous athlete’s by ESPN. In IPL he plays for the Royal challengers Bangalore.

He made his ODI debut for Indian Cricket Team against Sri Lanka at the age of 19. In 2013 he made his ODI debut. He reached number one spot in ICC ranking for ODI batsman for the first time in 2013. Kohli got tremendous success in 20-20 format and won the Man of the Tournament twice in ICC world 20-20. Since Feb. 2018 he is currently ranked 3^rd in the world. Kohli has made several Indian batting records including the fastest batsman, fastest ODI century and the fastest 10^thcentury.

He has received several awards such as ICC world Cricketer of the year 2017, player of the year in 2012 and 2017, BCCI’s International Cricketer of the Year 2011-12, 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. He was also given Arjuna Award in 2013 and Padma Shri in 2017. His competitive attitude and growth in such a short time is such an inspiration. I aspire to have a booming career just as Virat Kohli.

I have been following Virat Kohli on social media and have been watching his workout videos repeatedly. Virat Kohli was not the healthiest player in his early days of career. But his dedication and discipline to fitness sets him apart. He always prefers to have healthy food and also makes sure he consumes mineral water. He keeps a strict check on his fitness and diet regime. His fitness goals are truly an inspiration for all the youngsters including me.

In 2013 Kohli started a charity foundation Virat Kohli Foundation, VKF. VKF aims at helping the under privileged children and raising funds for charity. He also supports the anti-drug campaign, and I watched the video online where he attended the inaugural ceremony of the campaign titled “Yes to Cricket and No to Drugs’ he advised thousands of school children to say no to drugs and substance abuse. He inspires me to be a socially responsible Indian Citizen.

He inspires us to stay focused and dedicated in what you do. There is no doubt that this young man is the role model for almost all the youths in our country including me, as he is an all-rounder.
