Virat Kohli, the Indian cricket team's former captain, is one of the most celebrated cricketers in the world, known for his remarkable batting skills and his ability to lead his team to victory. On Sunday, during the second Test match against Australia, Kohli for the first time in his Test career was dismissed stumped. The incident occurred in the 19th over of India's second innings when Kohli was attempting to advance at Todd Murphy's bowling. 

On February 19, 2023, during the second Test match against Australia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Kohli achieved yet another milestone by completing 25,000 international runs for India. Kohli is the sixth cricketer overall to register this record and the first player of the 21st century.

Kohli made his international debut in August 2008 and has since then become a crucial part of the Indian team. He is known for his consistency and has an impressive average of 50 or above in all three formats of the game. Kohli has scored 8,195 Test runs, 12,809 ODI runs, and 4,008 T20I runs, making him one of the most prolific run-scorers in international cricket.
