VIRAT KOHLI - a silver lining !!!

        Only a century could have proved him right. Virat kohli,the Indian future great, has scored the first ton from Indian team on the Australian tour. with a century and a half century in last two innings against Australia on tracks which are considered to be the difficult ones in the world and against the best pace attack he has answered his critics in style.

        Amid all the old veterans this Delhi lad has quietly raised his game and improved by leaps and bounds on his first Australian tour as each test passed by after having been on the receiving end of all the people, who argued the he should be replaced with rohit sharma after the first two tests debacle of Indian team, has came out more stronger with the additional criticism.

         Leaving behind the middle finger controversy he started looking good from the Sydney test and got into his rhythm at the WACA, the fast track of Australia and was the highest scorer in both the innings of the match for India . and continued the good run into the final test here at Adelaide and scored a composed and classic century and in the process became the highest run scorer for India in the ongoing test series, a feat though with less amount of runs is no mean achievement especially when all the batting greats failed to put even a double digit score.
        Backed by the Indian skipper m s dhoni, who believes in giving long run to players to prove themselves, has not let his captain down and developed into a very fine player on a tour where all the other stalwarts of Indian cricket have failed to rise to the occasion and deliver when the team needed them.

        He has been a one bright stone in one of the disastrous tour of Indian cricket history where the team is staring at 0-8 foreign loss. He showed good technique and has all the ability to take the no.3 position in Indian test team which has already occupied in the limited overs team, after the retirement of rahul dravid. 

        This experience of Australian tour and performing against the best bowlers in the world will give him lots of confidence going into the tri-series to be followed up after the tests and also in his future test cricket. He now needs to carry on his one day record into the test arena, which most youngsters fail to do so and play more consistently if he has to be one of greatest test batsman which he really looks like.
