When one comes across the words Kohli and U-19, the name that strikes the mind is that of the present Indian captain. But there was another Kohli who played a major role in India's U-19 win in 2008 and he was Taruwar Kohli of Punjab.

The right-handed batsman, batting at Virat's specialist position of Number 3, scored three consecutive half-centuries in the 2008 World Cup to guide India into the knockout stage. He was considered as a bright talent and was thus acquired by Rajasthan in 2008.

However, lack of impact meant that he could only play two matches for the Royals and as many for Punjab in 2009, ending up a paltry 11 runs to his name.
