Not only did he make it to this list, he is also the first Indian player to reach the fifty million followers club on Instagram. On top of that, he is one of the celebrities with the highest value in the country as well. Duff and Phelps, a global advisory firm, released a list which showed Kohli topping the brand valuation list. He secured this title for the third time in a row. Over the span of 2019, his value reached $237.5 million (39 % hike).

Currently, the Indian cricket team is on the New Zealand tour for the two match test series. However, even though Virat Kohli is a great player, his lack of form recently is worrisome. He has not managed to score as expected in the first test match. However, he will definitely come back with a great form for the second test.
