However, in his 14-year long international career since, Kohli has grown to be considered as one among the greats and also led India across formats with great success.

"With the World Cup around the corner, the whole team is slightly nervous, but at the same time, as a team, we love to give our 100 per cent and focus on our process.

With so many franchise leagues around the world, most of which have generated huge commercial interest, several experts have predicted that cricket might be going the football way where players engage in club competitions for most part of the year.
