#3 Been involved in a Match-fixing scandal
Ah, this might sting. However, this could have actually happened. Money can be the root of evil and few cases depict it better than match-fixing scandals in the cricketing fraternity, especially the one surrounding Pakistan in 2010. If Virat Kohli was a Pakistani and broke into the team at the same time like he did with India, circa 2008-2009, then there was a good chance he would have fallen prey to the fangs of Salman Butt ad Mohammed Asif.
Poor Mohammed Amir still has to pay for the mistake of listening to a senior. Being young and naïve, it wouldn’t have been surprising if Kohli also walked down the same path. And that would have been a shame since, like Amir, Kohli is a recherché talent that this generation is blessed to have.
