Virat Kohli has had a roller coaster ride in the year 2022, but it seems that his lows are well truly behind him. The 33-year-old continues to breach milestones on and off the field, and on Tuesday, Kohli became the first cricketer to reach 50 million followers on Twitter.
While he has a knack for breaking several records on the field, he also owns the social media platforms and his recent feat on the micro-blogging platform speaks volumes of his popularity.
A comeback with a sparkling century against Afghanistan, King Kohli continues to rule the world of social media as well
Despite India’s miserable run at the Asia Cup, eventually won by underdogs Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma-led India will be content with Kohli returning to form and will hope for him to go all-out in the 2022 T20 World Cup, to be held in Australia from October. Having announced his comeback with a sparkling century against Afghanistan, King Kohli continues to rule the world of social media as well.
The iconic batter was on a one-month long sabbatical, as he was rested for India’s tour of West Indies and Zimbabwe. Kohli returned directly for the first match of Asia Cup 2022 and played a brisk 35-run inning against India’s arch-rivals Pakistan.
In addition, the 33-year-old Kohli already boasts of a massive fan following on Instagram. At present, he currently has 211 million followers. On Facebook, the former Indian skipper has over 49 million followers, taking his social media presence in excess of 310 million followers.
