Also, can be not liked by his rivals today
We are talking about India's national and international cricket player the batsman number 18 verrat Kohli
That's right guys. We're talking about
VK verrat Kohli my name is Dave waffle and
Welcome to FC defects. This is channel where we talk about people cultures and places from all around the world
But you know we have talked about sports figures in the past as a matter of fact in our past videos
We've talked about you know MS, Dhoni, and yeah, he's a great player
But let's be real some of you guys were like
Yo, you should talk about other people like a lot of you guys like y'all can talk about Brad Kohli
I can't even count the amount of people that said hey talk about this guy because he's just so popular
Now before I get in this video guys. I want to know who your favorite sports figure is for me
I'm not really much of a sports guy. I'm more of an actor
Entertainment film sort of guy, so I'm gonna stay out of this one, but you guys answer it down there
I want to see what your comments are so to start off talking about variety. Let's just go over the basics
This 5/9 right-handed batsman and bowler was born on November 5th
1988 in New Delhi India and in
2016 ESPN ranked this man as the eighth most popular athlete on the entire planet which is crazy
I mean I always thought it might be an American player
But let's be real India has a lot of people I wonder if there's any Chinese athletes that we don't know about
Hmm now growing up. He was born into a Punjabi family and his father Prem was a criminal lawyer
And his mother suraj. Well. She was a housewife and growing up
He was the youngest of three with an older brother and an older sister and although he attended Vishal Bharadwaj school
He first got into cricket when he joined the West Delhi cricket Academy
Which was formed in 1998 now throughout his cricket career
You might have noticed that he has black wristbands on his wrists now. Why is that? I mean?
Is there a reason for those wrist bands?
This is because they are totally has admitted that he is a very superstitious
Is divisive and even say that what point he's indoor the same gloves while scoring runs
But it since 2012 if you notice on his right hand he has a really cool wristband and that is called a cat
Oh Which is apparently supposed to bring him good luck now for some of you guys you may not know who is this guy?
Married to well in 2013 he got into a relationship with Anushka Sharma
Who is obviously a bollywood actor is a very beautiful one and I really don't get it?
What is it with all these actresses wanting to date sports figures? I don't see it and throughout the years
They've kind of had a hot and cold relationship with it's just not only has got the media's attention
But it's had the fans quite concerned and for those who don't remember in December of
2016 there were heavy rumors that the two of them were going to be engaged according to anushka sharma
She says that marriage is in the cards, but they're not exactly sure when it's gonna happen
But let's jump back to his cricket career because he is one of the best cricket players in the entire world
actually
He was listed as the fastest cricket player to score more than
20 centuries in an ODI
Match and for him to complete that task it took him only a hundred and thirty three innings to do so and the only person
To have that record before him was Sachin Tendulkar who did it in?
197 innings
Boy
But why is this guy so good well first of all he's really committed to his craft and in
2006 he showed his commitment with flying colors
This is because he was with the Delhi
Ranji and that year verrat had been going through a lot with his father who had been bedridden and sick for over a month and
Unfortunately during this time Franco Lee's dad passed away
However the day after there was the Karan apke game in which he however the day after his death
There was a Karan napkin game in which he's still committed to going to and during that game
He still scored 90 points, which I'm like wow that's amazing. I mean like for me
I wouldn't be able to do something like that
I'd be benched of the entire game and what's even crazier about that apparently even went to the funeral right after the game
What a guy I mean like he's committed to the game, and he's committed to his family
I think that's amazing but jumping ahead in 2011 he and a few others were put on the Test squad for the tour and
Australia and one of his most famous moments is he got so
Frustrating one of the second games that he ended up giving the entire crowd the middle finger
This of course had him ending up with having
50% of his match fee deducted by a referee and although this tour started off very
Rough form it actually ended very well because at the end of that tour he had gotten the rank of India's highest
run scorer and lone Centurion of the entire series
Stand to the great man
Absolutely
And because of his great work for that
Australia to her he became the vice captain for the Asia Cup Series in 2012 and by the year
2013 MS Dhoni had injured himself
Resulting in Kohli standing in as the captain for the ODI West Indies series, and this wasn't really good for MS
Dhoni because he got ruled out and Kohli ended up finishing this series and by the time India was going to the ODI
Zimbabwe to her
Viraj Kohli had become the captain of a team for an entire series for the very first time and he actually proved himself to be
A very good captain because by the end of that tour they had finished
5-0 which was the first time India ever done that in a way series however, let's talk about the 2013
2014
Oh D
I
Australia India tour because this was as well a very important moment for verrat Kohli because by the second game he had struck the
fastest century of any Indian in the OD eyes with 52 balls and an unbroken
186 runs second wicket partnership
But let's step away from his sports for a second and let's talk about some of his cool
Brand deals that he has Brad Cooley has made millions from his brand deals, and one of the best deals that he had was in
2014 when verrat Kohli signed with American appraisal his brand that year was estimated to be worth fifty six million
United States dollars
that's impressive and because of that he was the fourth most popular and profitable brand celebrity in India and by
2016 this guy had so many brand deals just coming out the wazoo as a matter of fact
He had over thirteen brand deals
And it weren't small brands there were big ones like Pepsi outie adidas Vicks, Herbalife. You name it
He's pretty much endorsed it
But the thing that's great about verrat Kohli is the money doesn't just go to his head and doesn't just go to him
Because he's also a very charitable man as a matter of fact
He has done a lot for charities
And he is the founder of his own charity with his own name the Brad
Coalition is a charity that aims to help underprivileged kids
They're getting them great events healthcare or education for these children and because of all these brand deals and all these great opportunities and his
bcc
i--'s central contract this guy is the highest-paid cricketer in the entire world making a net worth of
approximately 40 million dollars and not only that he has also been the
highest-paid player in the Indian Premier League for three years in a row
But that is just a small amount of the facts of verrat Kohli this guy has done so much and so much hard work. It's
impossible for us to condense it into a small video and because of all this he has fans that a dorm not just for the
