India's all-format skipper Virat Kohli has been hailed as the modern master for his batting skills. He has been dominating each format of the game for the past few years and is head and shoulders above all others.

The 32-year-old has registered 70 international centuries and has scored close to 22,000 runs at the highest level.

Kohli has been leading the Indian side for close to half a decade and has an excellent record as well. The only thing that he has missed out on is an ICC trophy as captain. He led India in the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017 but the team lost in the Finals to Pakistan. He also led them to the semi-final of the ICC ODI World Cup in 2019 but fell short of the coveted trophy yet again.

Virat Kohli will be leading the Men in Blue again in the ICC World T20 in 2021 at home and will be looking forward to taking his team all the way this time. Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh believes that even though it is a great achievement for any cricketer, a T20 World Cup victory will just add to Kohli's legacy.

Harbhajan said on India Today's show Inspiration, "Any captain would like to have that achievement. Winning the T20 World Cup in 2021 would be brilliant. It will not make Virat Kohli very big, he's already a very big player, but yes it will add on to his legacy of being a World Cup-winning captain."

"With the kind of team we have, I don't think Virat Kohli will leave without any trophies. The time is very near where Virat will be lifting the World Cup, maybe the T20 one or the next one," he added.

Virat Kohli and his men will be playing yet another T20 World Cup in twelve months' time in Australia.
