Virat Kohli has completed 15 years of international cricket. On this day, he played his first ever international match on August 18, 2008, in an ODI game against Sri Lanka in Dambulla. Though he made only 12 runs, India lost the game by 8 wickets. But not many predicted that he would rule the cricket world for more than two decades.
Virat Kohli shares a special post on completing 15 years of International cricket
On August 18, the former Indian captain completed 15 years and shared a special post on his social media platforms. He shared a picture of the iconic game between India and Pakistan during the 2022 T20 World Cup and thanked God with the caption “Forever grateful 🙏.”
As soon as he posted the image, it caught the attention of the world, and fans started to talk about him. Virat is the biggest superstar in the cricket world at the moment and the most-followed cricketer in the world. He is quite active on social media and keeps posting for his fans. He is currently on break and will return for another big clash.
Team India will play archrival Pakistan on September 2 in their opening encounter of the upcoming Asia Cup. Virat Kohli will be in action in that game. The last time he played against Pakistan, he lived up to the expectations of a “chase master,” taking India home in probably the best ever T20I chase.
India needs the in-form Virat Kohli with two big events coming up in 3–4 months. India won the last Asia Cup in 2018, and since then, they haven’t won the competition, while the coming 2023 ODI World Cup will be a great chance to end the trophy drought. For all this, India needs Virat Kohli firing all guns blazing.
