For the unfamiliar, GOAT stands for Greatest of All Time. Fans greeted the 33-year-old cricketer with rapturous applause as he was presented with the prestigious emblem. Is Virat Kohli a cricket goat? In all three versions of the game, he is nothing short of a nightmare for bowlers. As a right-handed batsman, he represented Delhi in domestic cricket and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League. He is widely regarded as one of the best batters of his generation, and some pundits consider him one of the greatest limited-overs batsmen of all time.

Kohli has now become only the second Indian player to hit the most sixes in T20 cricket history. In this regard, he has surpassed Suresh Raina’s record. Raina was previously the second Indian player to hit the most sixes in T20 cricket history. Since 2007, Kohli has smashed 325 sixes in 319 innings of 336 matches. Virat Kohli, the former captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Team India, has become the 23rd player in T20 cricket history to hit the most sixes. In this situation, Rohit is the world’s seventh-best batsman.

In the third Test match against South Africa at the Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town in January, Indian Test captain Virat Kohli hit a total of 79 runs for India. On Day 1 of the match, India was held to 223 runs in the first innings, thanks to Kohli’s half-century, with Cheteshwar Pujara the only other batsman to reach the 30-run barrier. Kohli’s 79-run innings contained 12 fours and one six, with the six becoming one of the day’s most talked-about features, aside from India’s low score.

Kohli hit the six in the 41st over of India’s first innings, off the bowling of Kagiso Rabada of the Proteas. Kohli’s sixth six in Test cricket was the topic of the day because it was only his fifth in the last three years. Kohli’s five sixes in the last three years are on par with Indian pacer Umesh Yadav’s total of sixes in the same time span.
