Virat Kohli has managed a great start to the year 2023 with the bat. He had a fantastic home ODI series against Sri Lanka. However, he failed to continue that form in the New Zealand series. After that, he got a rest from the T20I series against the Kiwis. Therefore, he spent some quality time with his wife, Anushka Sharma, and daughter Vamika by visiting Rishikesh.

In 2022, Virat managed to put up a great performance in big tournaments like the Asia Cup and the 20-20 World Cup.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli had a great outing against Pakistan in the 2015 ODI World Cup at the Adelaide Oval. Sohail Khan got his wicket but both of them got involved in a heated conversation. Now, he shared the incident on the Nadir Ali Podcast. He said: "Virat came. He said to me 'Aap cricket mein abhi aaye hain. And itni baatein karte ho (You've just arrived and you speak so much). I was a Test cricketer back then. I had played Test matches in 2006-07. Then in between, I endured a troubled knee that forced me out of action. I said 'Beta jab tu Under-19 khel raha tha na, tera baap Test cricketer tha' (Son, when you were playing Under-19 for India, your father was a Test player). That's how I said it. Then if you see carefully, Misbah intervened and he got angry at me. He asked me to keep quiet."
