For Virat Kohli, his dad is his real-life superhero

India captain Virat Kohli on Saturday said his career path became simple due to decisions taken by his father, whom he termed as his "superhero" in real life.

"My father till the time he was in this world he has been always been my superhero," Kohli said here when asked who was his 'superhero' in real life.

"Many people can inspire or motivate you, but when someone sets an example in front of you, the impact is different. The examples he (my father) set in front of me... like when I was playing cricket when I was young...the decisions he took with regard to my career. He could have told me about different dimensions. Due to his personality and decisions, my focus always remained that I will go ahead on the basis of hard work and not by any other way," Kohli, one of the most successful batsman of the modern era, recollected.
