| Description: | Kohli’s initial foray into the senior Indian cricket team came in August 2008, and he was given a chance to open the batting in the ODI series. Despite commendable performances, the established pair of Tendulkar and Sehwag kept him out of the team. However, Kohli’s consistent performances for Delhi and an impressive showing in the Emerging Players tournament in Australia ensured that he couldn’t be ignored for long.
