No, Virat Kohli has not invented the time machine. It was the Indian cricket team’s captain’s idea to make his 1000th post on Instagram special. The image features Kohli from recent time meeting the cricketer he was in 2008, the year he made his international cricket debut. The post went up today from his official Instagram account. Take a look.

Virat captioned the post as, “2008 ??2020
.
With many learnings along the way, I’m grateful for your love and support you guys have shown me. ♥️ Here’s to the #1000thPost”

Kohli first attracted the national interest by leading the Indian Under-19 team to a World Cup victory in 2008. In the same year, he debuted in the 50-over format against Sri Lanka at Dambulla. Within three years, he appeared for India in all three formats. After hitting his maiden Test ton in 2012, the batsman never looked back and now finds a place amongst India’s all-time greats.
