Virat Kohli, the legendary Indian cricketer, has bid farewell to T20 International cricket after leading India to victory in the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup in Barbados. Kohli’s illustrious career has not only earned him a massive fan following for his on-field brilliance but also for his stylish appearance.

Under his leadership, the team reached the finals of the Champions Trophy and the semi-final of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup.
