New Delhi. Virat Kohli is at that stage of his career where achievements and controversies go hand in hand. When King Kohli has the bat in his hands, big bowlers tremble. Even while fielding, his agility is clearly visible. Now such an achievement is going to be added to the career of this player who has won the ODI and T20 World Cup, which only a few cricketers have achieved. Now Kohli is going to play from IPL to Team India under the guidance of a coach who has once played under his captaincy.
Gautam Gambhir, who once played under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, has become the new coach of the Indian cricket team. Gambhir played his last international match in 2016 under the captaincy of Kohli. That means when Gambhir’s cricket career (International) came to an end, Kohli was the boss of Indian cricket. Now things have changed completely in 8 years. Now Virat is the senior player of the team and Gambhir has returned to the role of ‘boss’. Of course, the team captain is the real boss, but a strong coach always has some privileges. Gambhir is also counted among such coaches.
Interesting thing is that Virat Kohli has also played under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir. In 2010-11, Kohli played 6 such ODI matches in which Gambhir was the captain. Kohli scored one century and 3 half-centuries in these matches. Gambhir has played two test matches under the captaincy of Kohli.

For Virat Kohli, the situation is not such only in Team India that the player who played under his captaincy is now his coach. Now the same is going to be seen in IPL also. Royal Challengers Bangalore has selected Dinesh Karthik as its batting coach. This means that even in IPL, Virat Kohli will have a coach who has played under his captaincy. Dinesh Karthik has played 25 ODIs, 7 T20 and 2 Test matches under the captaincy of Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli had scored the highest score of 76 runs in the final of the T20 World Cup. It was only because of this innings of Virat that India was able to score a big score. There is no doubt that he proved to be the biggest player of this match and was chosen Player of the Match. Similarly, even though Virat Kohli’s team Royal Challengers Bangalore did not win the IPL 2024 title, the Orange Cap remained in the name of the king. Virat Kohli scored the most runs in IPL 2024.
