Description
Virat Kohli’s journey to becoming ‘King Kohli’ is a tale of relentless ambition and unwavering focus. From a young age, he was obsessed with being number one, so much so that he continued to play cricket even after learning of his father’s death at just eighteen. This action-packed, high-energy book invites young readers to relive Kohli’s greatest matches, record-breaking performances, and the mindset of a champion who transformed personal loss into triumph, lifted trophies, and inspired millions. Crafted especially for kids, the book features fun, easy-to-read storytelling and dynamic black-and-white illustrations of Virat and his teammates in action. It celebrates themes of leadership, resilience, and fearless play, blending cricket facts with exciting life moments to captivate budding fans. The author, Harismita Vaideswaran, is a Delhi-based PhD researcher in African literature, a copy head at a creative agency, a social media wrangler for a cricket league, and curator of ‘The World of Girish Karnad’ on Instagram. When not writing—or procrastinating—she’s often found rewatching her favorite TV shows or haunting her local post office.
