Squad member in 2011 World cup, Vice-captain in 2015 WC and now the Captain of Indian Squad Virat Kohli is all set to take the Men in Blue to the World Cup glory,  shot to as he lead his squad to a memorable victory in the U-19 World Cup. Kohli then made his ODI debut for India on August 18, 2008 and there was no looking back for the batsman. Born in Delhi, the 30-year-old Kohli is set to lead India in the World Cup 2019 in England and Wales and would be looking to get his second World Cup victory. Kohli was a part of the 2011 World Cup-winning Team India under MS Dhoni.
