Virat Kohli
The Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World award is among the honors that Virat Kohli, the Indian cricketer, has received over the course of his career.
Kohli was born on November 5, 1988, in Delhi, India. He has built his career as a cricketer representing India and has accumulated recognition from both sporting bodies and the Indian government. The government awarded him the Arjuna Award, followed by the Padma Shri in the category of sports, and also the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award in Sports and Games.
His recognition has extended beyond India as well. He was included in Time 100, and on the cricket side he received both the Wisden Cricketer of the Year award and the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World award. The Library of Congress catalogs him under the authorized label "Kohli, Virat, 1988-." That cataloging entry, modest as it sounds, reflects how consistently his name has been documented across international reference sources, placing the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World honor in the company of a broader record of his standing in the sport.
