Born - 5th November 1988
About
Virat Kohli burst into the limelight as India's 2008 U-19 Cricket World Cup winning captain in
Malaysia. Kohli was picked up by RCB as their first draft choice before the first season of the IPL and
was the only player retained by the team in 2011.
Kohli is also the team's most capped player with 70 appearances and leads the overall run tally for them with 1467 runs.
His ODI debut came in 2008 and Virat Kohli locked his spot in the Indian team despite intense competition with assured performances against opposition such as SL, NZ, Aus and SA. The stylish right hand batsman is currently the fastest Indian batsman to reach 1000 runs in ODIs and is far ahead of his teammates in terms of averages when it comes to successful ODI chases.
An electric fielder, Virat Kohli usually mans the point area and is also a canny medium pacer. His captaincy chops too are evident having ably led Delhi in the Ranji Trophy and Royal Challengers Bangalore for a few matches in IPL4 in addition to his U-19 World Cup victory.
In a roller coaster chase, Virat Kohli's gritty half century helped the team get over the line at the very end. Walking in to the middle in the very first over despite being the no.3 batsman, he played an enterprising knock and stuck around long enough to set up their win.
RCB vs. CSK, Wankhede Stadium, 2011
Virat Kohli stepped in following a rare Gayle failure and set about building a more than solid total, one they would have thought impossible without Gayle firing. He produced a stunning 70* off 44 with beautiful classical shots as RCB made 175/4.

It was really unfortunate to see RCB loosing against DC well t20 championship is round the corner guys ..All the very best for that :)

I still cannot believe rcb losing to dc in such a small chase i think rcb are way too much dependent on gayle and AB i dont know if you remember virat did a mistake by sending saurabh tiwary in upper order and ab devilliers had to come in last over against mumbai indians not sure when virat captained the very first match after vettori departed. AB devilliers should have come early in those matches and virat did another mistake by opting bowling all the time he won the toss and good batsmen like ab did not get early chance to put up some good score on the board that lead to low run rate and we wanted AB devilliers to come and bat early in all those matches but we had to see poor batting by virat and saurabh tiwary both play like they are playing in ODI or something and bagging crores for poor conribution.RCB team mgmt MUST drop virat and tiwary cause if they cannot resist taking singles and dot balls they should give chance to atleast AB.Talking about rcb vs dc the 71st match 20-5-2012 what a waste of time i thought atleast this time virat would lead the team to playoffs but he did not despite being a good captain he failed to score i mean look at him he scored 42 from 40 balls is that a good t20 contribution and tiwary he is not fit for t20 he is fat and he could not take 2 runs comfortably and sustained a injury in his leg and scored 30 from 27 balls

rcb should drop these two players for their poor performance in this years ipl they are fit to perform in ODI and not in T20 i hope rcb fans do not want to see their faces in next years ipl playing for rcbDROP TIWARY AND VIRAT THEY SUCK !!
