Virat Kohli In August 2008, Kohli was included in the Indian ODI squad for tour of Sri Lanka and the Champions Trophy in Pakistan. Prior to the Sri Lankan tour, Kohli had played only eight List A matches,[44] and his selection was called a "surprise call-up".[45] During the Sri Lankan tour, as both first-choice openers Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag were injured, Kohli batted as a makeshift opener throughout the series. He made his international debut, at the age of 19, in the first ODI of the tour and was dismissed for 12.[46] He made his first ODI half century, a score of 54, in the fourth match which helped India win the series.[46] He had scores of 37, 25 and 31 in the other three matches.[46] India won the series 3â€“2 which was India's first ODI series win against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka.
