As the legendary cricketer Virat Kohli turns 34, wishes are being poured on him across the world. But, I want to thank him for the person he is...not for the legendary cricketer but for the teacher Virat Kohli he is!
 
virat kohli birthday lessons I learned
When you lost your father...
 
At the age of 18, you lost your father when you were playing Ranji Trophy for Delhi side against Karnataka. You were asked to leave, but didn't and played the next day. You also added 90 crucial runs for his team.
 
 
So thank you for showing the extreme professionalism you had since a young age. That day you taught us grief can wait but duty towards his team can't!
 
The leader you are...
 
Whether it's Bumrah's wicket, run out by KL Rahul, rooting for Suryakumar Yadav from the other end, or backing Rohit Sharma when he was out of form, you have also cheered and shown support for them!
 
 
This teaches, how much of a secure person you are and teamwork makes dream work!
 
Discipline...
 
If one has to become a successful player, he has to change accordingly! You have done that! Since 2014, you have changed your fitness style to a range that you have taught us that can make a difference in the match!
 
 
Attacking the strongest...
 
In the post-match presentation after India won against Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2022, you said that Haris Rauf was Pakistan's prime bowler, so you attacked him first and hit those magical two sixes!
 
You taught us that when the situation demands, you have to fearlessly the biggest obstacle to overcome better results.
 
Speaking about weaknesses...
 
Things were harsh on you for a couple of months and it takes a lot of guts and courage to talk about mental strength issues but you have always talked about it without any hesitation!
 
This shows that it is brave to beat the odds but even braver in accepting the demons!
 
Your love for your family...
 
Every time, you reach a milestone, you show gratitude towards your daughter Vamika and Anushka Sharma. This shows that other things are temporary but family is forever!
 
The comeback...
 
The one last but significant lesson I have learned from you is believing in yourself. You had the belief in yourself, you did it and you made a magnificent comeback!
 
So, thank you, and Happy Birthday, Virat Kohli!
