Femina Miss India World 2023 and India’s representative at Miss World 2025, Nandini Gupta, recently impressed cricket fans and entertainment fans with her confident and spirited response when quizzed about giving advice to cricket icon Virat Kohli.
What advice did Miss India World Nandini Gupta give to Virat Kohli?
Speaking to Filmygyan ahead of the Miss World pageant, Nalini said, “He is known as King Kohli…I don’t think he needs the advice. And I am sure that in every match he will play like a King, he’ll roar like a King and get all the World Cup for India!” Her statement was widely praised for capturing Kohli’s stature and legacy in Indian cricket.
Nandini’s remarks come as she prepares to represent India on the global stage at Miss World 2025, which is being hosted in Hyderabad for the second consecutive year. Known for her intelligence, poise, and social awareness, Nandini embodies the spirit of “Beauty with a Purpose,” aiming to make a meaningful impact through her platform.
Kohli, meanwhile, continues to rewrite history in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. He recently became the first player ever to score 500 or more runs in eight different IPL seasons. His scintillating 62 off 33 balls against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) helped him to move up in the race for the Orange Cap.

A quick look at Virat Kohli’s international runs and centuries
Kohli’s international cricket career is marked by exceptional run-scoring and record-breaking centuries across all formats. As of May 2025, he has scored a total of 82 international centuries: 30 in Test matches, 51 in One Day Internationals (ODIs), and 1 in Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).
In Test cricket, Kohli has amassed 30 centuries, including seven double centuries, demonstrating his ability to play long, impactful innings. His ODI record is particularly outstanding, with 51 centuries-the highest by any player in this format. He surpassed Sachin Tendulkar’s previous record of 49 ODI centuries during the 2023 World Cup semifinal and became the first player to score over 700 runs in a single World Cup edition. Kohli also holds the record as the fastest to reach 13,000 ODI runs and is the only player to score 1,000 runs and ten 50+ scores in ICC knockout matches.
In T20 Internationals, Kohli has one century, underscoring his versatility across formats. He is the only cricketer to be named Player of the Tournament twice in the T20 World Cup (2014 and 2016).
