Virat Kohli is the man to watch out for!
Virat Kohli scored a scintillating century (102 not out) not just to lead India to a win against Bangladesh on Monday but also ensure that the youngster is the one for future.
To be able to score runs in a packed middle-order of Indian batting shows the Delhi lad’s skill and grafting power.
As skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni puts it, the young Kohli has grabbed every opportunity offered to him and delivered the goods on time, each time. Two ODI centuries in 19 matches might make anyone complacent but Kohli wants to take one step at a time.
“Pressure is there as I am in the early stage of my career. I want to grab every opportunity that comes my way. I got a lot of confidence from the century I scored against Sri Lanka in Kolkata last month. I am in a great form and I want to continue my form but at the same time I don’t want to put myself under pressure by setting goals and targets. I could not score much in the first match (of the tri-series) and I came out late in the innings in the second match. So I am happy that I scored a century today,†Kohli said.
When asked what changed his career, Kohli said, “The Emerging Players’ Tournament in Australia gave me a lot of confidence. That changed my career.â€
Many who had watched Kohli bat saw flamboyance with arrogance too in equal measure. But the right-hander wants to rectify things in the future. “I made mistakes and I have accepted it and trying to rectify myself. I just want to concentrate on cricket and not think of any other things,†he said.
All we as a spectator want is Kohli playing the right shots and not play one shot too many both on and off the field.
