Today, Virat Kohli is one of the faces of Indian cricket. His aggressive attitude combined with his batting skills make him the perfect lead for any roster. Let's take a look at how Kohli got to this point in his career.

Many may remember first hearing his name more and more from the IPL. Kohli has done much for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, leading them to the finals of the 2009 and 2011 IPL seasons.

He's as dominant as he is because his ability to read and react to any situation is second to none. Anil Kumble years ago said he thought long and hard before calling Kohli the best under-22 player in international cricket. Now that he has captained the international team, it's clear that all the potential that was seen in him was in fact justified.

Don't forget, he's only the second India captain to win the U-19 World Cup (2008).
