    3. Oh, add five thousand sexiness points for his earth-shattering talent.

    6. *India collectively drowns in its own drool*

    7. *India suffers from crippling heat wave*

    8. *1.2 billion Indians faint simultaneously*

    9. You can just tell from this face that he's a deep thinker, a sensitive soul.

    10. And then there's his IDGAF attitude which makes you wish Anushka Sharma would mysteriously go missing for a while.

    11. Here he is, celebrating a catch. A catch celebrating a catch, if you will.

    12. And here he is, completing a century. Tell us, Virat, how can we score you?

    13. Both on and off the pitch, his style is always on fleek. Take that jacket off, Virat. TAKE IT OFF.

    14. Not only is he an excellent cricketer, homeboy Virat can command any type of ball to do anything he wants. Here he is, using his smoldering gaze to defy gravity.

    15. *500 million ovaries explode in unison*
