Born on 5 November 1988 in Delhi, this man is no less than a legend. It was former Delhi coach Ajit Chaudhary who gave Kohli his nickname 'Cheeku' when he joined Delhi Ranji team.

He is fond of tattoos, has till now has 4 of them on his hand and he believes those bring him good luck. He is married to actress Anushka Sharma.
