As majestic as King Kohli: 10 similes that Virat personifies

As busy as a bee

Virat Kohli is the most expensive player in the history of the IPL

As soon as he comes to the crease, Virat hardly takes time to get going. He sets off by feeling the ball hit his bat and one would rarely see him facing many dots.

He is always on the lookout for singles and doubles and constantly endeavors to rotate the strike. This has particularly been a major reason for his success as he does not allow the bowlers to settle into a rhythm.

"I have come to terms with the fact that I cannot hit big sixes so I focus on boundaries," Kohli said in an interview prior to the ICC T20 World Cup 2016. And he ended the tournament with 273 runs at an average of 136.5 and a strike rate of 146, also being adjudged the Man of the Tournament after already having won the title back in the 2014 edition.

In the IPL season that followed that year, Kohli, who was pointed at for no centuries in the shortest format, scored 4 of them in one season as he finished with an unimaginable run tally of 973 runs.

Notwithstanding his busy cricket schedule that keeps him engaged all year long, Kohli also finds time to please the brands he endorses, as many as 19 of them currently. With products ranging from cars, cabs and tyres to bags, suitcases, energy drinks, apparel, headphones, snacks and chips, brand Kohli is the hottest commodity in the endorsement market.
