What Is Virat Kohli’s Net Worth 

What Is Virat Kohli’s Net Worth?

According to Forbes, Virat Kohli’s net worth figure from 2019 was estimated at ₹196 crore that amounts to $26 million. Moreover, Kohli’s overall net worth during this period was forecasted to be approximately ₹900 crores, amounting to $119 million. Let’s take a look at what he has done to amass such wealth:

Kohli holds the record for the quickest to scale 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000, and 12000 runs in ODI cricket. Although the Delhi-born batsman had cracked the code to succeed in limited-overs cricket by 2014, he continued to struggle in red-ball cricket. The 2014 Test tour of England was his lowest ever as he could not play past the English bowlers’ swinging deliveries, especially James Anderson. However, a consistent rise in Virat Kohli net worth kept growing as he improvised tour after tour. India lost the five-match Test series by 3-1 and Kohli averaged an awful 13.40 across five matches. But soon a turning point for Kohli and India arose in the next few years. 

Not only did the India team perform outstandingly well in the Australia tour that followed England’s but the right-handed batsman was also amongst the runs. Although we saw India losing the rubber in Australia, the men in blue got the direction and played positively to climb the top of the Test rankings two years later. MS Dhoni’s retirement from Test cricket halfway through the Test series in Australia paved the way for Virat Kohli to take leadership. 

And his impact as the Test captain saw the Indian team’s proficiency to compete in all the conditions and the fast bowlers’ rise. The men in blue have accumulated a potent group of pace bowlers that have been responsible for pushing England and South Africa to their limits in their backyards in 2018 and shaping India’s first Test series win in Australia.
