Author's take
Virat Kohli is one of the most popular figures in India, especially with the young cricket fans. He constantly switches between his favourite shots that include cover drives, reverse sweeps, uppercuts, inside outs and much more. Each of these shots carry a unique geometrical angle which can be conveniently used to explain the different lines and curves in the graphs. The students are familiar with these shots either because they have watched him play and might have also tried to imitate the same.
In any case, it definitely helps them understand the concept in details. This approach is very creative and has the potential to keep the students hooked to the video lessons.
