Book Summary –
In Driven, sports journalist Vijay Lokapally chronicles the meteoric rise and personal challenges of cricket icon Virat Kohli. It delves into his emotional journey—from the impact of his father’s untimely death when Kohli was 18 (he famously returned to play a Ranji game just hours later) to his unwavering work ethic and competitive fire. Through interviews with teammates, coaches, and opponents, the book explores Kohli’s transformation from a hot-headed youngster into a focused leader. It highlights key facets like his altruism—supporting under‑privileged children—and spotlighting milestones like his Arjuna Award, Padma Shri, and ICC awards . The World Cup–updated edition adds two chapters on his performances in ICC tournaments, enhanced photos, and detailed stats, offering a comprehensive view of his career trajectory.
