Virat Kohli

The Indian captain Virat Kohli has been emerging as star player ever since he started playing cricket for India. Since then Virat Kohli has dominated in all ways whether its to win matches, score tons of runs, even winning most awards for his performance and well-known for breaking records. The Indian captain has come a long way in his career.

Virat Kohli has won many awards in his name and he has another honor attached in his name now. Well on Wednesday, 10th April 2019 in the 156th edition of the Wisden publication, Virat Kohli was named as the "Wisden Leading Cricketer in the world" of this year.

Including Virat Kohli, there are other 4 players who were also named as 'Wisden Leading Cricketer' Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Rory Burns, and Tammy Beaumont form England women's team.

Its quite a big news right but what if I tell its not the only time that Virat Kohli was honored by 'Wisden Leading Cricketer in the world' but instead he won this honor third time straight in a row.

Breaking records is all just Virat Kohli things.

"In 14 ODI innings, he racked up 1,202 runs and six hundreds – three in a row against West Indies – averaged 133 and had a strike-rate of 102. Forget Bradman: this was Superman."@imVkohli enjoyed a simply astonishing 2018. https://t.co/QjiwihAria
