• 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?
• I have doubts that Records and achievements have proper coverage. It should be written in prose per WP:USEPROSE.

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. ^[2]?
