When it comes to popularity among the masses, former India skipper Virat Kohli tops that list the world over. He has millions of fans not only in India, or Asia but across the world. His exploits in the World Cup 2023 have had a significant impact on the team and has contributed to taking them to the top of the World Cup points table. In six innings so far, Kohli has amassed 354 runs.
But unfortunately, during the India vs England clash, Kohli failed miserably and was out for a duck. Nonetheless, India won the match comfortably by 100 runs, and that had little impact on his popularity and craze.
