During the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 held in India, Virat Kohli showcased exceptional batting skills, despite the heartbreaking failure against Australia.
He has set numerous records, including becoming the first-ever batter to hit 50 ODI centuries, breaking 'God of Cricket' Sachin Tendulkar's record.
Lauding Virat's performances in the tournament, Lara said, «I have a son and I can tell you that if my son has to play any sport, I will be using Kohli's commitment and dedication to not just add to his strength, but whatever it takes to become a Number one sportsman.»
