India's craze for cricket, love for Bollywood and demand for new-age businesses has helped Virat Kohli, Deepika Padukone and Bhavish Aggarwal, make it to the TIME magazine's list of 100 most influential people of 2018.

The trio is part of the list that includes stand-up comedian Kamail Nanjiani, US President Donald Trump, whistle-blower in the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal Christopher Wylie, Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk and Japanese billionaire-investor Masayoshi Son, to name a few.

While Kohli has steered the Indian cricket team to numerous victories, Padukone is among a few Indian actors who have landed roles in Hollywood blockbusters. Aggarwal
