The Kohli Era

Virat Kohli has a certain aura around him - charismatic with a daring look in his eyes, erupting at the slightest hint of a challenge.  Stripping Kohli of his power was almost unimaginable since his power as a leader and a batsman has caused awe bringing about a new era in Indian men's cricket, fearless India never hesitating to take risks and was not afraid to lose while attempting to win a Test match.

His everlasting energy and 'never say die' attributes brought about a fear in the opponents. As was said by Nathan Lyon- Kohi had the Australian fire in him. He was a boisterous skipper, ready to speak his mind. Kohli unknowingly made the cricket field alive- pushing on players and his victories in the SENA countries with his stellar performances establish his significance as a player.

               Being a fitness-fanatic he brought about a fitness standards with an all-round development of a cricket and a powerful seam attack that was now a match for Pakistan's pace factory.

Too many the skipper's achievements and his leadership seemed to be insignificant due to his lack of winning an ICC trophy. There have been several prominent captains who have not won a cup like Graeme Smith, Sourav Ganguly and AB De Villiers. However, Kohli is a different persona altogether and his feat of changing the Indian team to a dauntless, aggressive squad is unappreciated

Despite his resignation from captaincy in all formats the regime under Kohli will forever live on in our hearts and Kohli's cover drives and nonchalant chuckles will remain a stamp of his indomitable leadership.

Like Harsha Bhogle I say- You look at Virat Kohli and you see energy all the time. And yet, Virat Kohli, when he is batting, is a different entity. He is almost lost in his own perfection.
