2015 has definitely started on a good note for this blue-eyed boy of Indian cricket. Virat Kohli, who has been made the captain of Indian cricket team after MS Dhoni’s sudden retirement, has also become the first cricketer to cross the mark of five million followers on the social networking site Twitter.

As soon as he achieved the feat, he posted a selfie on his official twitter handle and thanked his fans with this tweet.

Wow that was a quick ride to 5 million! Great start for the new year. Thank you all for making it possible :) [sic]

Be noted that he has left behind the likes of cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni, who have 4911339 and 3375199 followers on Twitter, respectively.
