Virat Kohli is more than a personality for cricket. The former Indian captain has millions of fans and followers across the globe within and outside the world of cricket. In every sense, Kohli is a true icon of the modern era. However, the 36-year-old is answered time and time again by his rivals on and off the field.
This time, the rivalry that Kohli faces is not related to the high speed of the cricket pitch, but to the pomp and glory of the entertainment world. Kohli’s rival, although far from the dynamics of the game, is the queen of the glamor world.
