As on Feb 1 Virat Kohli scored yet another century in the one day international against South Africa in SA. It was nothing new for Virat Kohli's fans to see him scoring yet another century, but it was special in many ways the most satisfying aspect of it was to see such an authority in bating on a foreign land. Although India as a team played very well and on no time in match we felt like SA is in drivers seat of the match, But Virat Kohli's contribution as the most impressive.
Now i want to talk about what i like most in him as a player , There are 2 things in him that differentiate him from others in my view:
1 ) His energy on the field : He is such an energy on the field you can simply see it in his running between the wickets , his fielding efforts , and as the captain he do influence on all the team members , And i would like to take it further and say not only team members but on everyone who is dreaming to represent india in future.
Although the change in running between the wickets and fielding efforts have been improved a lot in last two decades even before Kohli came in picture but he just took it to another level and it is going to be best in the world every soon.
- His attitude towards the game and the opposition : His attitude towards the game is just impeccable , He does not give any room to the opposition to come back to him and such is his class that he almost win the battles with everyone on the field. His batting class need no introduction it is one of the best in the world of cricket so far but more then that is, his way of challenging the opposition i did not mean verbal challenges here i mean cricketing challenges , Like he takes on the best bowlers and come good every time , he backs his bowlers in such a way that most of the time they come good .
He is just forwarding the legacy of Indian cricket to another level it was carried forward in the past by Legends like Kapil dev , Sunil Gavaskar , Sachin Tendulkar , Sourav Ganguly , Rahul Dravid , Anil Kumble, VVS laxman , Zaheer Khan , Harbhajan Singh and M S Dhoni and many more. It is a great feeling to see Indian cricket is going to its new highs and Virat Kohli is having a big impact on it . I am just loving the time Inidan Cricket is having right now .
