Virat Kohli has earned his name in IPL as well as international cricket. He is included in the list of top players of the world. Kohli has recently made an interesting revelation about his career. Kohli said that Suresh Raina was the first to put forward his name for Team India. Kohli did not fit into Team India as an opener. But because of Raina he got a chance. He also took the name of former chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar.
Kohli told in the video
Kohli said, “In 2008 we were playing the Emerging Cup in Australia. I still remember that time, he (Suresh Raina) must have heard about me. This came in the middle of the tournament. First Badrinath was the captain and then Suresh Raina got the captaincy. Praveen Amre was our coach. Then I was thrown out. Because I did not perform in the first two-three matches. Then he added my name. Dilip Vengsakar was the chief selector at that time.
Opened for the first time against New Zealand
Kohli played a big inning of 120 runs for Team India Emerging. He returned unbeaten in this match. The special thing was that Kohli was batting in the middle order. But he proved himself by opening against New Zealand Emerging. Before this, he could not perform well in two-three matches.
