Virat Kohli is certainly one of the most dedicated cricketers in the world. In the Asia Cup 2022, the Indian talisman bounced back in form with a century against Afghanistan. This was Kohli's first century in international cricket after 1000 days. Now that the 'Run-Machine' is up and running, he is not ready to let it go. India is gearing up for the much-awaited clash against Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 on October 23, Sunday. In the net session, Virat was looking to middle every ball possible. However, he was not satisfied with his time in the nets and thus wanted to continue. After noticing that Virat has spent more than the scheduled time in the nets one of the staff members told him that his time is over. On Virat said that he is waiting for Deepak Hooda to come and till then he will continue to play.

The video went viral on the internet and Twitterati claimed that at the age of 33 Virat is still one of the most dedicated cricketers in the world.
