Kohli's prowess on the field is matched only by his unwavering dedication to fitness and skill enhancement, cementing his status as one of cricket's most iconic figures. Often compared to legends like Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dhoni, and Ponting, Kohli's influence extends far beyond his stellar performances, inspiring a new generation of cricketers and reshaping the game in India.

His inclusion among the top sporting moments of 2023 at the Laureus World Sports Awards underscores his unmatched contributions and impact on the sport. In the ICC Cricket World Cup semi-final against New Zealand, Kohli's masterful century propelled India to a commanding total of 398, leaving an indelible mark on cricket history witnessed by none other than Sachin Tendulkar himself.

However, amidst his global success, Kohli's IPL franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore, is enduring a challenging season. With only 2 points and 7 losses, they currently languish at the bottom of the table. To keep their playoff hopes alive, Kohli and his team must rally to secure victories in their remaining matches and rely on favourable results elsewhere in the league.
