King Kohli’s rule continues in the world of social media.
The last three years have not been fruitful for India’s star batsman Virat Kohli. He is having trouble with his form and has consistently performed poorly on the cricket field. But despite all the criticism, he remains a superstar on social media.
Kohli has now become the first cricketer to reach 50 million followers on twitter
The 33-year-old is the most followed cricketer in the world after Cristiano Ronaldo (476 million) and Lionel Messi (356 million) and the third most popular athlete on Instagram (211 million followers).
Furthermore, Kohli has over 49 million fans on Facebook, taking the total number of followers on social media to over 310 million.
With two fifties and a century, Kohli returned to form during the recently concluded Asia Cup 2022, finishing as India’s leading scorer and second highest run-scorer of the competition.
As Kohli finally got the monkey off his back and celebrated his eagerly awaited 71st century, he ended the 1020-day wait since his final century in November 2019.
Before the Asia Cup, Kohli had revealed that he had not touched his bat for a month.
Thank you all for your love and support throughout the Asia Cup campaign. We will get better and come back stronger. Till next time ️🇮🇳 pic.twitter.com/yASQ5SbsHl

The Indian team will be happy that Kohli’s maiden T20 century came ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.
He will next be seen in action on September 20, when India host Australia in the first T20I of the three-match series.
Kohli is known for his exceptional aggression and energy on the pitch. India has consistently emerged as one of the most aggressive teams under his leadership.
