Birthday Special: 5 Reasons Why Virat Kohli Is A Gem Of A Person

There’s a reason why Virat Kohli is one of the most loved cricketers who also happens to be the most followed Asian on Instagram. If we had to describe him in one word it would be: all-rounder.

Today, our beloved ‘Dilli ka Launda’ turns a year older and we’ve seen the highs and lows in his career. But, there’s so much more to this man than just cricket and we adore him for that.

He’s a youth icon

Virat Kohli is an inspiration to all the youngsters who want to make their dreams a reality. He’s motivated, disciplined and he knows how to lead a team and keep everyone motivated. He lives life on a perpetual high and his approach to his craft and work is something that everyone can take inspiration from.

He always speaks his mind

Virat has never stopped himself from being expressive. Whether it’s sledging or questioning dubious decisions, he always speaks his mind and he never shies away from it, regardless of the consequences.

He’s a softie at heart

Sometimes we get to see Virat Kohli’s soft side on the field and that’s when India goes weak on its knees. He’s literally made PDA look cool and honestly, every time he gives flying kisses bouncing off the surface of his bat, our heart skips a beat.

He always stands by his loved ones

Whether it’s Anushka being trolled for his performance or his team performing badly, Virat has always had their back and has been there for them, through thick and thin. In fact, he even urged his fans to stop trolling Anushka for his bad performance on the field. So, he’s someone who stays loyal and can be trusted. A true gentleman! Lets not forget he is also a dotting father to Vamika.

He’s a style icon

Is there anything that this man can’t perfect? Apart from being a youth icon, Virat is also a style icon that millions take inspiration from. From his stylish t-shirts, sexy stubble and cool tattoos and some serious swag, Virat carries himself with great panache and confidence.

Happy Birthday King Kohli!
