Ranbir Kapoor, a popular Indian actor, says that Team India’s senior batter Virat Kohli would be the finest candidate to play his part in a biopic.
Ranbir Kapoor attended the crucial 2023 World Cup semi-final match between India and New Zealand in Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.
When asked if he would want to portray Kohli’s role in the latter’s biography, Ranbir told the broadcaster Star Sports:
“If a Biopic is made on Virat Kohli, then Kohli should play the role of Kohli in it because Virat looks better than many actors and his fitness is also very good.”

In terms of the game, Virat Kohli stole the show with his batting exploits in Wednesday’s important semi-final. The veteran batsman hit his 50th ODI century, hitting 117 runs off 113 deliveries, including nine boundaries and two sixes.
He overtook Sachin Tendulkar as the batsman with the most hundreds in the format.
Virat Kohli first batter to cross 700 runs in a single World Cup
Virat Kohli has been in outstanding form at the current 2023 ODI World Cup. The former India captain is now the tournament’s highest run-scorer.
Kohli became the first batsman to score 700 runs in a single edition of the 50-over premier competition with his 117-run effort against the Blackcaps. He has 711 runs from 10 appearances at an average of 101.57.
Kohli stated during a mid-innings interview regarding his 50th ODI century:
“As I said stuff of dreams. Anushka was sitting right there, Sachin paaji was here too. Difficult to explain this. If I could paint a perfect picture I would want this to be the picture. My life partner, the person I love the most is sitting there, my hero is sitting there and I was able to get the 50th (ODI hundred) in front of all of them and all these stands in Wankhede as well, such a history venue so it was amazing.”

Along with Kohli, Shreyas Iyer hit a century, reaching 105 runs off only 70 deliveries. The two put up a stunning 163-run stand to enable the Men in Blue achieve an impressive total of 397/4 in 50 overs.
