Can anyone change File:VIRAT KOHLI JAN 2015 (cropped).jpg to File:The President, Shri Pranab Mukherjee presenting the Padma Shri Award to Shri Virat Kohli, at a Civil Investiture Ceremony, at Rashtrapati Bhavan, in New Delhi on March 30, 2017 (cropped).jpg with caption "Virat Kohli in 2017".119.160.116.101 (talk) 17:00, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. @Oz Hass: This editor is requesting the infobox image be changed, so the two of you should discuss. I will point out that the intention of an infobox image is to help readers identify the subject. An image where part of the subject's face is obscured by sunglasses, is probably not ideal for this purpose. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:48, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

 Done boldly. I agree that the new picture without sunglasses is an improvement. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 15:09, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Virat Kohli's Test Cap No is 269, in this article it is given as 270 which is wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_India_Test_cricketers According to the given link above, the test cap no of Virat Kohli is 269 which is the correct test cap no. Shaunak0701 (talk) 05:41, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

 Done. However as per reliable source of ESPNcricinfo his test cap number is 268. -- Holy Contributor 92 (talk) 06:07, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

As my previous edit request said that Virat Kohli's test cap no is 269, but the changes made are 268. https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/images.deccanchronicle.com/dc-Cover-0s1hg492i649j4ni5sdmhdda61-20161108120729.Medi.jpeg https://cdn.dnaindia.com/sites/default/files/styles/full/public/2018/01/22/644215-virat-kohli-afp.jpg Here I have attached 2 links which have Virat Kohli's two photos in which he is actually wearing a cap which mentions his cap number as 269 and neither 268 nor 270. I request you to re-edit the cap no to 269. Shaunak0701 (talk) 05:30, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

 Not done as of now but it seems

interesting request. However as far as reliable sources are concerned the number is 268. Have a look at this source from ESPN cricinfo (one of the most trusted sites) List of India Test Cricketers If you have reliable sources suppporting your desired changes please bring it on talk page and then we will discuss about it. But as of now, We should stick to the source. Holy Contributor 92 (talk) 14:04, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Wrong info given.

"For his knock, he was awarded the man of the match award, his 20th in ODIs and first in a World Cup match." Under the Test captaincy column, this was written regarding his century against Pakistan in 2015 WC but it was actually his second WC century, the first one being against Bangladesh in his debut Wc match. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2402:3A80:B07:30A9:888F:900:60FE:907C (talk) 10:18, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

As I had said earlier that Virat Kohli has a test cap number 269, but the so called reliable sources like ESPN cric info have the wrong information with them. in 2011 Abhinav Mukund, Virat Kohli and Praveen Kumar made their test debut against West Indies in the same match and their cap numbers are 268, 269, 270 respectively. I would like to attach the links of 3 photos in which all 3 are seen wearing their respective jersey's with their cap numbers. https://www.thenationalnews.com/image/policy:1.618757:1502439961/Abhinav-Mukund.jpg?f=16x9&w=1200&$p$f$w=d65337a https://im.rediff.com/cricket/2017/nov/26kohli-lead1.jpg https://akm-img-a-in.tosshub.com/indiatoday/images/story/202001/RTX4TVT2.jpeg?48gWtKc9ta9QrjJZQhG9lu_SG0zX4VJp&size=770:433 I think there is no more clear proof or indication than this. Sometimes the reliable source too might have wrong information. So I request you to edit the cap number to 269. 268 is misleading information from ESPN cricinfo. Thank You!! Shaunak0701 (talk) 06:18, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

 Not done for now as i said earlier come back with reliable sources which contradicts ESPN cricinfo source. What you are doing now is part of original research which is not acceptable on Wikipedia. Wikipedia doesn't publish original thought.

Even if the source of cricinfo is incorrect you have to provide a quality source which says cricinfo source is incorrect about this bit. If you have any reliable source which mention his test cap no. as 269 or Kohli himself saying that My Test cap no. is 269 feel free to change it. If not then Sorry i can't add your desired changes in article. Despite the fact i too believe there is a mistake on cricinfo.

@Lugnuts: Can you please look into this matter ??? Holy Contributor 92 (talk) 15:41, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping. Good question - it looks like the photo evidence is 269 and the Cricinfo table is incorrect. But I don't know for sure, so I've droped a note at WT:CRIC for more input. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 16:12, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

I agree looks like Cricinfo table mess up Kohli and Mukund cap number. Almost all the images mention the number as 269.Holy Contributor 92 (talk) 16:29, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

The Cricinfo tables are auto generated based on first appearence and then alphabetically. Sometimes the actual numbers dont quite match. For major nations such as India they are usually pretty accurate, but there are some small exceptions such as here. A reference (in which his cap number is stated) would be helpful if possible. Bs1jac (talk) 17:33, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

I can try to get hold of my contact at CI. Perhaps the best solution is to get them to fix at their end! Bs1jac (talk) 18:35, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 30 March 2021

As of now I don't have a solid proof which says that Virat's Cap No. is 269 but I have a proof which says that Abhinav Mukund is the 268th player to represent India. I am attaching a link of a tweet by Abhinav Mukund himself which says that he is the 268th player to represent India. Please do check it out. https://twitter.com/mukundabhinav/status/1274223129557004288?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1274223129557004288%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftimesofindia.indiatimes.com%2Fsports%2Fcricket%2Fnews%2Fabhinav-mukund-recalls-his-test-debut-against-west-indies%2Farticleshow%2F76480577.cms So if Abhinav Mukund is himself saying that he is the 268th player then Virat can't be the 268th player, Virat has to be 269th player. Check out the link above and revert back. Thank You!! Shaunak0701 (talk) 07:44, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Not sure @Lugnuts: and @Bs1jac: Shaunak0701 added a tweet of Mukund himself saying that He was 268th test player of India I cross checked and Its indeed original account of Mukund. I think its clear now that this is error on cricinfo part. Should We revert it boldly to 269 in Kohli ??? Holy Contributor 92 (talk) 11:59, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I'm fine with that, esp. as the sources/images clearly show the numbers. Hopefully Bs1jac's contact at Cricinfo can also update their source data. Thanks for your time with this. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 12:01, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Yep agreed. Let's add a footnote to the player list. Bs1jac (talk) 12:06, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Virat Kohli/GA3. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: No Great Shaker (talk · contribs) 11:26, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Commencing review

I referred this to WP:GAR a year ago and had it demoted so, given that it's been re-nominated, I'll be happy to do this review. Will be in touch soon. No Great Shaker (talk) 11:26, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

On hold

I'm placing the review on hold for seven days. I really ought to apply WP:GAFAIL because the article is nowhere near the required standard for well-written prose. In only the first two paragraphs of the lead, there are these problems already:

• A right-handed top-order batsman. That cannot stand alone as a sentence.

• Kohli is rated as one of the best batsman of his generation.

• After a few months later, he made his ODI debut....

These occur in the first six lines of the article and must be seen as symptomatic of the whole. I will allow seven days for rewriting, proofreading and copyediting to raise the standard of prose throughout to an acceptable level. No Great Shaker (talk) 12:58, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

I'll try to do some copy editing over the following days. — DaxServer (talk to me) 17:32, 27 September 2021 (UTC) (updated 10:36, 28 September 2021 (UTC))

One thing I've noticed is the use of WP:REFBOMB in certain sections, with multiple cites for the same "fact". For example, the opening line of the "10,000 runs in ODIs before age of 30" section has three refs about his 30 centuries before Ponting. That's just one example. I'll take a look at trimming some of those down, or re-jigging the refs to cite other facts in the same line. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 14:29, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Great stuff. Thanks, Lugnuts. No Great Shaker (talk) 14:35, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Lugnuts, DaxServer and Princepratap1234. Given all the work you are doing on the article, I'll postpone the review indefinitely to give you all the time you need. Let me know when you would like me to restart. Thanks. No Great Shaker (talk) 12:46, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

On second thoughts, I've decided that the best thing to do with this is fail it so that work can continue until it is ready for a fresh re-nomination. The reason for failure is that the article is not longer stable given the number of contributors getting involved and the extent of amendment required. The review therefore fails GACR#5. Before re-nom, I recommend that someone does a peer review to proofread the article for spelling, grammar, syntax and phraseology to ensure that it meets the requirements of GACR#1 – I think it is still unlikely to pass that criterion which, IMO, is the single most important requisite for a GA. Review closed. No Great Shaker (talk) 11:08, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Comments by DaxServer

 In progress

• What is the common format that is being used to denote not-out at the end of the match, in other articles? He scored 470 runs in four matches at an average of 117.50 with two centuries and top-score of 251*. Do we use the asterisks without any footnotes?
• Kohli was bought by the Indian Premier League franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore for $30,000 on a youth contract. I've put a {{clarify}}, but was removed. I don't think the citation verifies the youth contract claim. Or am I missing something?
• [1] states He then joined the Bangalore Royal Challengers for the Indian Premier League, but his performances were below-par. The note about the performance could be added [with additional sourcing] for the period between March (RCB auction) and June (ESPN article date) 2008.
• He was in fine form in that tournament and scored 206 runs in six matches at an average of 41.20. What does fine form mean? Who said? I've put a {{clarify}} tag, but was removed.
• He made his first ODI half century, a score of 54, in the fourth match which helped India win the series. Don't we attribute "helped India win the series"? I looked at the linked Indian cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2008 and [2] but nothing's asserted. I haven't looked at the commentary tab in the link, it would be an overkill for me. Sure, his fifty was helpful.
• He made 105 and 16* in that match against a bowling line-up consisting of Brett Lee, Stuart Clark, Mitchell Johnson, Peter Siddle and Jason Krejza. Can someone verify it? If I were to verify, do I need to follow the commentary?
• Almost all the ESPNcricinfo URLs had changed. What should we do?
• The Early years section is missing the description about Kohli: From [3] came across as a brash kid in love with himself ; Critics wondered whether he had the special natural talent to justify that arrogance ; others felt his attitude did not matter as long as he scored runs on the field ;the perception of his troublesome attitude and Kohli's response that everybody was entitled to their opinions and that he could not go around trying to censor people ... What people were talking about my attitude during first IPL was right to a certain extent. I have accepted the criticism and tried to take it in the right spirit . From [4] Not that long ago Kohli was an impish boy, seemingly in love with his own talent ; Ray Jennings description as a very talented kid [who] sometimes thinks he is better than the game ; He is not a prodigy but walks around with the confidence of one ; Dhoni's remarks He is an aggressive lad and it's important for him to be himself - you have to show off what you are. The good thing is, he is learning to bat long innings and through pressure situations - All of these are to be concisely sourced about his early career. (I haven't read thru the entire article, so I'm not if they are sourced somewhere, but seems unlikely.)

  DaxServer: I have removed the asterisk and added not out in place of it. Added source mentioning youth contract thing. IPL performance is properly written in Indian Premier League section. Removed fine form thing and in point number 6, you can check bowlers name in a source given.Princepratap1234 (talk) 11:50, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

  Thanks for the additions. If you could source the fine form from somewhere, please do so. — DaxServer (talk to me) 20:21, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

  I've restored the original format — DaxServer (talk to me) 16:35, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

• How do we determine his form? He was in fine form ; His struggles with form continued ; Despite the poor run of form - They all seem WP:OR to me, and need an WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV citations. Like how Dhoni indicated that the in-form Kohli is likely is verifiable from the citation. — DaxServer (talk to me) 20:21, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

  DaxServer: Good form means that a player is scoring well in a matches and having average more than 30 in ODI series. It is mentioned that he had average below 20 in that series so he was not in good form. It is also mentioned in this source [5] that he was struggling to get runs which is already there in article. Princepratap1234 (talk) 12:14, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

  The article says he's struggling, so I'm fine with asserting it as not in form. But how can I verify the statement good form being to have an average of more than 30 in ODI series? This seems to me like it requires expert knowledge of cricket. Is there something related on this topic on Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket somewhere for my reading? — DaxServer (talk to me) 13:34, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

  DaxServer: Generally if you are having average below 30 in ODI series then its considered poor but you wont get sources for these things. If someone watches cricket then he may know it.Princepratap1234 (talk) 14:52, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

  Thanks for the explanation. I'd like to put it on record that someone who reads about the form on the article, they need to have a knowledge of cricket. As a substitute for the explanation, is there an article about form, if so, could you link it, preferably the first occurrence. — DaxServer (talk to me) 17:13, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

• Kohli was one of three uncapped players in the Test squad - What does uncapped mean?
• Also a note, I'm fine with leaving * after the runs to indicate not out.
• The Indian cricket team in the West Indies in 2011 says India won ODI series with 5-0, while Kohli article says India won with 3-2
• Initially dropped from the Test squad for India's four-match series in England in July and August, - The source [6] says it was due to his patchy performances on his debut Test series in the West Indies - The "patchy performances" (re-worded?) could be added as a reason as to why he was dropped.
• How and where can I verify the partnership runs? — DaxServer (talk to me) 14:18, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

  Uncapped means that player has not played a single match as it was virat Debut test series. I have corrected the information in Indian cricket team in the West Indies in 2011 as India won that series by 3-2 [7]. Princepratap1234 (talk) 14:52, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

• Now I know where to look for the partnership stats after your recent citation, I'll omit the citation tags for them specifically if there is an ESPN link to the match scoreboard, which has the statistics tab where the partnership is located. Other editors might disagree and could ask for an explicit citation, given this being a GA review. Or, should I?
• In [8], Kohli talked about how he went it knowing that he was labelled as someone who can't play short balls. Were there short balls in the series and how did he face them? — DaxServer (talk to me) 18:00, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

  It's mentioned that he struggled against the short ball in the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Princepratap1234 (talk • contribs) 18:28, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

  The biggest challenges had come much earlier, with the West Indies bowlers targeting a perceived weakness against short-pitched bowling. If this means he struggled, it's okay. If not, you can also add [9] could be useful which said He was unsettled by the short ball in the West Indies — DaxServer (talk to me) 12:52, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

• Also, possibly add a wikilink to short ball and uncapped, if not available, add footnotes explaining what they are. — DaxServer (talk to me) 18:00, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
• "Kohli top-scored with 132 in a tour match against Cricket Australia Chairman's XI to strengthen his case for a spot in the playing eleven ahead of Rohit Sharma." [10] said Virat Kohli, who is likely to be India's No. 6 on Boxing Day, converted his half-century into a hundred. How does this verify "to strengthen his case..." (until end). Is there another text in the article that I fail to see? — DaxServer (talk to me) 12:52, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
• "Kohli top-scored with 132 in a tour match against Cricket Australia Chairman's XI" add citation for the score. — DaxServer (talk to me) 12:52, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

  Done

• "Batting at number 6, Kohli failed to go past 25 in the first two Tests, as his defensive technique was exposed." Note: In the first innings of the first test, he batted at no. 7 [11] — DaxServer (talk to me) 12:52, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

  I have removed the batting number.

• "In the first seven matches of the Commonwealth Bank triangular series against hosts Australia and Sri Lanka, Kohli made two fifties–77 at Perth and 66 at Brisbane–both against Sri Lanka." - Kohli made 66 on the eight match, making the statement incorrect. Probably should be changed to "matches that India played", or some other, as the bonus point (next sentence) against Sri Lanka is the 11th match and the eighth that India played. — DaxServer (talk to me) 19:54, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Comments by others

'Kohli is rated as one of the best batsman'- the word 'batsman' should be changed into 'batsmen' to make the sentence grammatically correct. Again is this sentence required at all? Moreover, the term 'batter' (Plural- 'batters') is used instead of 'batsman' and 'batsmen' respectively. I think the change I am speaking of should be made immediately. 202.142.67.117 (talk) 09:56, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

I won't accept batter in the review. Kohli has always been termed a batsman until now and that is the word used in all the article's sources. The cricket project is still discussing use of batsman and batter. No Great Shaker (talk) 04:14, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Then batsmen should be written to make this sentence grammatically right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.142.67.232 (talk) 07:46, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Absolutely. If you look at my review comments above, that was the first one I pointed out. Thanks. No Great Shaker (talk) 08:12, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Oh, I missed out that. By the way, why any registered user, who can edit this page, is not changing the word 'batsman' to 'batsmen'? The point is already highlighted by two users- you and me. So, the change should be made immediately at any cost. Had I been eligible to edit the article, then I would have changed it at the moment. Besides, there are a number of other syntactic errors in the article. The errors need to be corrected by some user, who is quite expert in English. As per my view, a native English speaker can redress the problem better. Thank you, No Great Shaker (talk). I am looking forward to your reply. --202.142.67.232 (talk) 09:16, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello again. Good question. As the article is under review (although on hold at present), it is up to me as reviewer to point out problems and make suggestions for improvement. Then, although there is nothing to stop me from doing it myself, it is up to the nominator or another editor to resolve the issues (or decline to!). You're right that there are more errors of syntax and grammar which I'll highlight as and when I do the full review. However, I'll do the batsmen one now.

Virat Kohli is an Indian cricketer and was the captain of India national cricket team in Tests. He plays for Delhi in domestic cricket and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League as a right-handed batsman(Hindustani: [ʋɪˈɾɑːʈ ˈkoːɦliː] (audio speaker iconlisten); born 5 November 1988) is an Indian cricketer. He plays for Delhi in domestic cricket and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League as a right-handed batsman. Kohli is often considered one of the best cricket players in the world and widely regarded as one of the greatest cricket players of all time.[3]

Kohli made his Test debut in 2011.[4] He reached the number one spot in the ICC rankings for ODI batsmen for the first time in 2013.[5] He has won Man of the Tournament twice at the ICC World Twenty20 (in 2014 and 2016). He also holds the world record of being the fastest to 23,000 international runs.[6]

Kohli has been the recipient of many awards– most notably the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy (ICC Men's Cricketer of the Decade): 2011–2020; Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy (ICC Cricketer of the Year) in 2017 and 2018; ICC Test Player of the Year (2018); ICC ODI Player of the Year (2012, 2017, 2018) and Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World (2016, 2017 and 2018).[7] At the national level, he was awarded the Arjuna Award in 2013, the Padma Shri under the sports category in 2017[8] and the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award, the highest sporting honour in India, in 2018.[9] He is ranked as one of the world's most famous athletes by ESPN[10] and one of the most valuable athlete brands by Forbes.[11] In 2018, Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world.[12] In 2020, he was ranked 66th in Forbes list of the top 100 highest-paid athletes in the world for the year 2020 with estimated earnings of over $26 million.[13] Nasiful islam (talk) 14:27, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

GA reassessment

Virat Kohli

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch • Watch article reassessment page • Most recent review

Result: Delisted: see below, no progress for over a month. (t · c) buidhe 18:47, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

It is nearly five years since this became a GA and its history since then indicates a considerable input of trivial, unsourced information with consequent impact upon quality and sourcing. It was wrongly presented to FAC in April this year and effectively rubbished there because of, in the main, poor sourcing. In essence, the problem is the amount of attention the article has received from the subject's "fans" in recent times.

In terms of WP:GACR, I think #1 is okay on the whole although a reviewer would certainly list numerous points for quick resolution. It would fail on #2, especially #2b and with the possibility of #2c arising. It is generally okay on #3 though, again, a reviewer would almost certainly raise queries and require removal of trivia like non-noteworthy awards. GACR #4 is frequently compromised by the fan inputs but, to be fair, the cricket project seem to be reverting those in good time. The fan inputs don't really constitute a threat to stability so #5 is okay, and I'd be happy with #6 as there don't seem to be any imagery issues.

I think the article would probably fail a GAR, subject to anyone being able to quickly resolve its problems if put on hold for a week. I recommend that it is delisted so that necessary work can be done to restore quality and ensure good sourcing throughout. It could then be renominated at GAN. No Great Shaker (talk) 05:58, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

There has been no movement on this GAR for three weeks now and the article has continued to be hit by inappropriate edits which are swiftly reverted. I recommend that this GAR is closed due to lack of interest and the article is demoted to class=start (I don't think it is worth B or C until someone does a thorough proofread and copyedit). Thanks.

As I mentioned above, we need a grap, which can show the the current batting & performance status of VK since his last ton in West Bengal, if you can create one it will give better picture of Virat's scoring without that this article is looking outdated. You have to add those graphs in Int career section.Success think (talk) 05:02, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

User:Bonadea you reverted the info about batting avg, inconsistency of this sub. WP is guidelines says editors to be neutral, we can't add just good things and close eyes about bitter things. The sources are backing the lines but you removed them. The para was providing stats from last 2.5 yrs. I suggest you to rewrite the important things and discuss on talk page before doing this kind of major changes.Success think (talk) 15:19, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

I removed part of the utterly inappropriate language, together with some details that were not relevant here. The removed text could absolutely not remain in the article; maybe some of the info could be restored in a different form, but the important thing was to get it removed as quickly as possible, since it violated a very central Wikipedia policy, which is particularly important in a biography of a living person. Wikipedia cannot say in its own voice that a season or a tour or whatever was "disastrous", it certainly can't say that a team "was badly hammered" or that it "bounced backed[sic] strongly", nor can it say that a player "managed to score" a certain number of runs, or that he scored a "crucial" point. Headings, too, should be neutral. "Poor form" or "Failing to score big knocks" are problematic phrases in headings, not only because "score big knocks" is a colloquialism that most readers won't understand. As for stats, those should not be indiscriminately included; "in [the] last two and [a] half year[s] [...] failed to score a hundred in any format" doesn't belong in an encyclopedia article (not only because "the last two-and-a-half years" violates MOS:CURRENT). And in a paragraph discussing a particular tour or match, making comparisons to other tours or matches is out of scope. --bonadea contributions talk 18:12, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Philanthropy

Virat’s ambitions for a better India have grown beyond the sports arena to creating a better tomorrow for the underprivileged youth of our country. He is committed to build youth focused programs, which connect children to resources and use his partnerships to setup support services to the vulnerable section of our society.He and Anushka Sharma are both passionate about animals and they have made personal contributions consistently to help the cause of the thousands of stray animals in our city, as well as contributed to wildlife relief efforts. With his support extended to Awaaz, he can create well planned medical services, shelter and food to the strays that are the forgotten and often brutalized in Mumbai.

In May 2016 : Virat Kohli Foundation has joined hands with Smile Foundation, a national level development organization, to support the cause of empowerment of underprivileged Children and Youth. As a first step towards this endeavor, a one-of-its-kind charity dinner in Mumbai is going to be organised in June. Virat Kohli himself will host the charity dinner and it will bring together eminent cricketers, industry stalwarts, corporate honchos, Bollywood personalities and achievers from diverse fields. The evening will also have the element of auction of high-end luxury products, entertainment and a five course Michelin starred treatment dinner for 200 distinguished guests.

Virat visited an Old Age home in Pune during 2016 IPL season in Pune . There speaking on the occasion, Kohli said, “People like Dr. Aparna are doing remarkable work by running such a facility for all those elderly, who have been left (alone) by their dear ones. This is absolutely wrong and it is our duty to take care of the elderly members of our family.” The Virat Kohli Foundation and ABIL Foundation have now joined hands to extend immediate help to Aabhalmaya to end its financial crunch.

Virat Kohli donation to Prime Minister's Relief Fund

In wake of the coronavirus crisis across India, Virat Kohli along with his wife and Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma pledged to donate an unspecified amount to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund and Chief Minister's Relief Fund of Maharashtra. Though unverified, this figure is said to be ₹1.5 crore each from the celebrity couple as per multiple media reports. Apart from his donation to the cause, the cricketer also took to Twitter and urged fellow Indian citizens to stay indoors until the lockdown remains in effect.

GA nomination

@Ashish 1816: this article was declined as a GA just over a year ago, and I don't think it has improved significantly since then. It is still prone to poor SPAG and WP:NOTDIARY coverage. It needs a major prune / copy-edit. Spike 'em (talk) 15:44, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

@Ashish 1816: as previous one probably failed. Spike 'em (talk) 15:45, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

If you've not had a look at WP:GA? then that would be a good place to see what the main criteria are. As well as the spag issues, cricket articles suffer from consisting of context-free list of scores (often many sentances that say something like On 3rd of Septanuary Kohli scored 42 and 27 against Some Team and nothing else). Not every game needs to be mentioned and performances need to be given some backround and commentary from third parties. Also have a look at the article when it was listed as a Good article back in 2015. Spike 'em (talk) 10:45, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

I think this article is still well short of GA standard. More NOT:DIARY content has been edited, the lead is unfocussed and has duplicated facts. Spike 'em (talk) 11:55, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Alright alright ... I guess I'll have to take back the nomination again. ✨Ashish Legend✨ 17:46, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Timeline headings

Dear Wikipedia editors,

I am writing to propose a change to the headings in this article . Currently, the headings are organized as Early international career","Consistent performances in international cricket". However, I believe that reorganizing the headings into a timeline format would make the article more navigable and easier for readers to understand the chronology of events.

For example, the articles on Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both have timeline-based headings, such as "2004–2005: Success at youth level," "2005–2006: Senior and World Cup debuts" and "2012–2016: All-time Portugal top scorer and European champion." This organization allows readers to easily see the progression of events in these individuals' lives and careers.

I believe that implementing similar headings in this article would improve the overall readability and understanding of the content for our readers.

Waiting for views on this. Thank You

Virat Kohli: Modification of Lead Para

Hello Ashish 1816,

Thank you for your message regarding the inclusion of less notable medal tournaments in the infobox and the prioritization of statistics in the lead paragraph.

While it is important to keep the infobox concise and relevant, it is also essential to include all significant achievements of the subject of the article. In the case of Virat Kohli, his record of being the second person to hit the most number of centuries in international cricket is a noteworthy and impressive achievement that deserves to be mentioned in the infobox.

Furthermore, the lead paragraph should highlight the most significant and impressive statistics of the subject of the article. While most runs in T20I and IPL are undoubtedly noteworthy, being second in most centuries is also a highly significant and impressive achievement that deserves to be mentioned.

If you have any further concerns or questions regarding the article, I would be happy to discuss them with you. Thank you for your input and efforts in improving the quality of the article.

Best regards, Call Me Anshu (talk) 02:29, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

While I appreciate your point of view, let's take a moment to reflect on the significance of being second in something. Is it truly noteworthy? In my opinion, not really. It is the individuals who achieve something extraordinary, who make a mark are remembered. In the case of Kohli, he has already made his mark by being the highest run scorer in IPL and T20I, which is a remarkable. However, when it comes to being second in most centuries, I feel that it is not as significant as being the first. Therefore, for the time being, wait and observe if he scores the most centuries in the future, then it would then be a legitimate addition to his already impressive resume. ✨Ashish Legend✨ 11:36, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Virat Kohli vs Babar Azam Latest Compraison in ODI,Test and T20

Virat Kohli and Babar Azam] did not start international cricket together. In this, Virat Kohli is about 6 or 7 years ahead of Babar Azam.

Both bat at the top position for their country and both are superstars, but there is a debate on who is the better of the two, so today we will compare their careers to find out. It will be easy.

India was lucky that the same young man took over before Schain Tendulkar’s departure and made up for his absence well, but on the other hand, it was not the case that Younes Khan left shorty after Inzamam-ul-Haq and Mohammed Yousuf left. Pakistan did not have a batsman to fill his place and then in 2016 a batsman in the form of Babar Azam came and overshadowed. Leadmore @www.cricfr.com Cricfr (talk) 14:30, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
