News Synopsis

Virat Kohli is arguably one of the greatest cricketers of all time, and his fan base is proof of that. As the former Indian captain stands on the field, crowds can be heard cheering from the stadium. He is also one of India's most popular social media figures, ahead of Bollywood celebrities, and politicians.

Virat Kohli is now the first Indian to register another record under his name with more than 200 million followers on Instagram. Former India and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain is the third athlete to have the most followers on Instagram, after Lionel Messi (334 million), and Cristiano Ronaldo (451 million).

Kohli stepped down from T20 Captain for India and T20 World Cup after that last year. He also left the captaincy from his IPL team RCB ahead of IPL2022. Earlier this year, he gave up India’s red-ball captaincy after the three-test series against South Africa.

Kohli is India's most successful test captain. After stealing the reins from MS Dhoni, he led India in 68 test matches, winning 40 with a winning percentage of 58.82.
