When Indian skipper and cricket sensation Virat Kohli leads his team on the pitch, fans around the world watch his every move with bated breath. When Virat Kohli reads a book, however, the entire Internet sits up and takes notice. A few days ago, during the first test against West Indies in Antigua, Kohli was spotted by hawk-eyed observers browsing through a book titled Detox Your Ego: 7 Easy Steps to Achieving Freedom, Happiness and Success in Your Life, even as Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma were out at the crease.

While the book's attention-grabbing title had the Internet in splits and served as fodder for several memes, many netizens also pointed out that the author Steven Sylvester, a former English cricketer and a chartered psychologist, could actually offer Kohli valuable lessons based on his own experiences from the game. As can be expected from most viral sensations, the book is now listed as being sold out on Indian e-commerce portals. We spoke to those who were lucky enough to get their hands on a copy, about lessons they think Kohli — and those striving for success — might adopt from the book.
