10 years of Virat Kohli: In pictures

2011

2011 can be termed as a special year for Virat Kohli. For a young man who was yet to turn 23, became a World Cup winner. He scored 282 runs in the tournament and scored a ton in the opening game. He also scored a crucial 35 in the final against Sri Lanka.

After the World Cup, he made his Test debut in West Indies but didn’t have a great start to his red-ball international career. He scored just 76 runs in 5 innings in his first Test series.

However, despite not having the best first year in Test cricket, he continued to take giant strides in the limited-overs formats. He amassed more than 1300 ODI runs which included four hundreds and eight fifties in 2011.
