The brand ‘Kohli’ is quite a name on social media and he is leading the likes of footballer star Neymar, Kary Perry, Miley Cyrus and LeBron James. To note, he is also among the top 4 sports stars on Instagram, in terms of followers. He is only behind star footballers Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr.
Nevertheless, at times Kohli hasn’t been at the top of his form and despite a slump in his career, the actor continues to make news even when he gets out of form.

As per the Zee News report, The Asia Cup 2022 was his 71st and it was in 3 years and more of waiting. The Covid-19 outbreak, different breaks due to consistent cricket, and bad form was the reason he missed out on several tons in these 3 years.
