The India skipper Virat Kohli has been among the most successful players across formats. And, his success in the recently-concluded ODI series against Australia has earned him much praise. Referring to this, the Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has given him an interesting title.
The famous Bollywood diva is known for giving her opinion over various personalities.
The star batsman of India is not only regarded for his incredible knocks but also for leading the team to most record wins. Although he is yet to lay his hands on the coveted ICC title, Kohli has brought India to one of its best times of the era. India is currently ranked N0. 1 in Test cricket and limited-overs cricket while resting at fifth on the T20I charts.
Meanwhile, in the last one year, the Men in Blue has been emerging as winners in most of the series. Ever since the expulsion of the team from the World Cup 2019, Kohli & his men are winning most of the series.
Kangana Ranaut has a suitable name for Kohli:
Nevertheless, the success of Kohli as a dynamic leader has led the Bollywood actress to give him a fitting name. Kangana, during the promotions of her movie Panga, called Kohli as the ‘Panga King’ following India’s series win over Australia.
“I am the Panga queen, and the Panga king of Team India is definitely Virat Kohli. He is fearless and is up for any challenges that come his way. This time we both will take a ‘Panga’ on the same day – mine will be at the theatres, and he will battle it out against the New Zealand team on their home ground. This will be fun,” said the actress.
In the home assignment against Australia, Kohli had to take some crucial decisions after India lost the first game by 10 wickets. However, the top-ranked team clinched the series by 2-1.
Kohli bosses the game:
And the name given to him suits him well for being the top-ranked batsman in the cricket world. With 7202 runs in 84 Test matches and 11792 runs in 245 ODIs, Kohli still resides at the top of the batting list.
Currently, Kohli & Co. are gearing up to have a full-fledged tour of New Zealand commencing from January 24.
Meanwhile, Kohli will be looking forward to leaving his mark in his maiden T20I game on New Zealand shores.
India will have a five T20Is to play which will be followed by three ODI matches that will take place from 5 Feb to 11 Feb. After a three-day practice match, the two teams will head on to have a two-match Test series. It will be India’s first away Test match for the World Test Championship.
