In the world of cricket, some players aren't just athletes — they become legends. Virat Kohli, often called the ‘King’ of cricket, has ruled the game for over a decade with his incredible consistency, passion, and match-winning performances. From chasing impossible totals to setting new batting records, Kohli’s name has become synonymous with greatness. But as every career has its twilight, cricket fans worldwide are beginning to wonder: Who can take the ‘King’ title after Virat Kohli retires?
1. Shubman Gill
Dubbed by many as the ‘Prince of Indian Cricket’, Shubman Gill has shown immense talent at a very young age. His elegant batting technique, fearless strokeplay, and ability to anchor innings make him a strong candidate. If he continues his upward trajectory, Gill could be a future captain and possibly the next ‘King’ of Indian cricket.
2. Ruturaj Gaikwad
Ruturaj has quietly built a reputation as a reliable opener in both IPL and international cricket. His calm temperament, clean hitting, and consistency under pressure have impressed many. If he manages to leave a mark in big tournaments and crucial matches, he might step up as one of the cricketing greats.
3. Prithvi Shaw
While his career has had ups and downs, there’s no denying Shaw’s explosive talent. His aggressive batting style and fearless attitude remind fans of a young Virat Kohli. If he finds consistency and discipline, Shaw could well emerge as a crowd favourite and a future superstar.
4. Rishabh Pant
Already a fan favourite, Rishabh Pant is known for his bold batting and match-winning performances in challenging situations. His heroics in Test matches overseas have shown his potential as a future legend. If he maintains form and fitness, Pant could be a serious contender for the ‘King’ crown.
5. International Stars
If we look beyond Indian cricket, there are global sensations like Babar Azam (Pakistan), Travis Head (Australia), and Harry Brook (England) who are making waves in world cricket. Among them, Babar Azam is often compared to Kohli for his classy cover drives and consistent performances across formats. Should he continue this form, Babar could be cricket’s next global superstar.
