Kohli made his debut for India at the age of 19 against Sri Lanka in Dambulla and has been an integral part of the international setup since. Kohli has come a long way now -- from leading the country's U-19 team to World Cup glory back in 2008 to leading India's charge at dominating the world of cricket in all forms of the game.
