He came into the limelight in December when he decided to play for his team against Karnataka the next day after his father's death and scored 90, and soon after being dismissed he went straight to his father's funeral. He scored a total of 257 runs in 6 matches at an average of 36.7 that season.
In April 2007, he made his Twenty20 debut and finished as the highest run-scorer for his team at the Inter State T20 Championships with 179 runs at an average of 35.80.
In February-March 2008, Kohli captained the winning Indian team to the 2008 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup held in Malaysia.

Virat continued to rise through the team's ranks, gaining sides for the tri-series against Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. He began to decline in form during those matches held in June 2010. However, for the 2011 Cricket World Cup, it gave him excellent performances to include him in the 15-man squad. In the tournament, Virat played all matches. She was the key to India's first World Cup victory since 1983.
From 2011 to 2012, Virat performed well for India, especially during his West Indies tour. He also earned promotion to become the team's vice-captain of the ODI team. During India's tour of the West Indies for the tri-series, Virat claimed several records, which won him the Man of the Series award.
