Virat Kohli: India’S Don Bradman

It is getting next to impossible to see India's victory without Virat Kohli's contribution. Sachin Tendulkar was consistent throughout his career and the current vice captain of the Indian team has kept this trend alive. His latest performance came against England in the warm up game before the T20 World Cup. The match had no significant value but after losing to Sri Lanka in their opening match, MS Dhoni's boys were under some sort of pressure. Much like every game, the team started poorly, losing Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan cheaply.

However, the Indian supporters knew that all was well till the time Virat Kohli was at the crease. After starting cautiously, the right hand batsman went on rampage against all the English bowlers. His unbeaten 73 off 47 balls had class written all over it. He along with Suresh Raina, who scored 55 off 31 balls, helped his team in posting 178 for 4 in 20 overs. It was a big task for the opposite team who could manage 158 for 6 from the allotted overs. Virat Kohli, who has been in news for his alleged affair with Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, hit 8 fours in his entire innings.

This is not the first time he has helped India in overcoming from a difficult position. Virat has been scoring runs since long and there is hardly any weakness visible in his batting at the moment. His running between the wicket and the habit of converting ones in twos and twos into three is phenomenal. He can score runs without hitting regular boundaries. The recent innings against England had no sixes, which is enough to prove that big shots are not required to maintain the tempo in the shortest format of the game. One has to be smart enough to find new ways to keep scorecard moving in the slam bang cricket. There is no denying the fact that India's chances in the T20 World Cup will depend on the performance of Virat Kohli. If he gets going in all the matches, there are chances of lifting yet another T20 trophy. He has become India's Don Bradman in a span of short time, which is worth praising. Much like Bradman, Virat Kohli takes way all the pressure from his team mates. Apart from this, he has calm down in the last few months. His critics were after him because of his habit of getting too aggressive on the field but Virat has tamed this problem. He is more calm and compose these days, which is sign of maturity. Hail Virat Kohli……………..
