 * The lead is too broad. Probably a reduction of his achievements will help.
 * A right-handed top-order batsman, Kohli is regarded as one of the best batsmen in the world.[3] - Without a doubt, backed up by sources on the lead. However, I am not sure if that's appropriate. Neither the statement nor the sources are mentioned anywhere in the body. I would recomment a separation section titled Reception to elaborately mention the critics.
 * What's a purple patch?

Kohli is vegan
My addition to personal life that Kohli is vegan was reverted, with the remark: 'So? why is that significant?' For many vegan well known people it is stated that they are vegan in the 'personal life' section. According to sources, the switch to veganism has benefited his health and athletic performance. https://www.livekindly.com/indian-cricket-captain-virat-kohli-vegan/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janvlug (talk • contribs) 15:05, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * That doesn't look like a reliable / NPOV source to me. I'd like to see multiple mentions of it in mainstream press rather than on a vegan advocacy website. Spike &#39;em (talk) 15:25, 14 August 2019 (UTC)


 * a) just because other article have stuff on it doesn't mean we shouldn't hold this article to reasonable standards for the inclusion of information - or that editorial decisions shouldn't be made.
 * b) is it overly significant given Kohli's background that he is a vegan? (see below)
 * c) has he advocated vegan causes in any significant way? For example, Jason Gillespie is clearly an advocate for veganism and has been vocal about it. Has Kohli? Arguably, given their respective backgrounds, Gillespie's veganism is clearly far more significant.
 * d) reliable sources - even the Times of India piece is a puff piece and the source you've given is is managing to stretch the impacts of the change into places that, frankly, are a bit stretched to say the least.
 * Bare facts are pretty tedious. If we can get some, err, meat on the bones then it might be worth including. Perhaps. Blue Square Thing (talk) 18:30, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
