Virat Kohli Posts Iconic Photo To Mark 15 Years Of International Cricket

15 years back, on this day, Virat started playing for India as he made his debut in an ODI clash against Sri Lanka.

India’s run machine Virat Kohli posted an iconic image from India vs Pakistan clash in the T20 World Cup last year while looking back on his 15-year-long journey in international cricket. The 34-year-old former India skipper smashed unbeaten 82 runs and helped India pull off the game by 4 wickets. The Delhi-based batter was thankful to the fans as he posted a classic two-word post. Virat celebrated 15 years in international cricket by saying that he is grateful for all the things he achieved in his stellar career.

“Forever grateful," wrote Kohli.

The last time when India met Pakistan, the Men in Blue struggled a bit initially but then Kohli’s outstanding knock outplayed Pakistan. Kohli took just 52 balls and chased down a total of 160 runs alongside Hardik Pandya.
