Form is temporary, but, Class is permanent. The saying justifies the way Virat Kohli played the knock between India and Bangladesh. It’s more than a mere spectacle. The mindset of a spirited brotherhood that Rahul showed on the pitch by deciding not to take a run. Indeed a real match winner.
One Century Away: The God of cricket ‘Sachin Tendulkar’. Sachin’s career spanned over 25 years. He ain’t some guy scoring runs at a rapid rate but his consistency was apt for the format. In the era of reverse swing and deadliest fast pacers known across the continent. Sachin stayed calm and composed, in midst of the greatest bowling attack in the history of cricket.
In a press event, someone asked who do you think can break your record. Sachin replied without any hesitation. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The run machine now has 78 centuries under his belt. In which, 48 centuries are in 50 overs format. Only one less than the Sachin.
Rohit Sharma Vs Virat Kohli: Effortless playing and Rohit Sharma, this is a synonym. The elegance with which Sharma plays the pull shot looks like he has a half of a second advantage over any other player right now in the cricketing world. The Indian skipper is a clean classic hitter in the tournament. But, the lofted drive over the long on for a six. Virat Kohli might have surprised you. King Kohli is known for his fitness regime and workaholic attitude. It reflexes in his ability to convert singles into the doubles. The running between the wickets is his USP.
When the time came to show his power hitting abilities, Kohli didn’t shy away. India needed 20 runs to win and Kohli needed 20 more for his century. What happened after that is for the ages to remember.
Brothers On The Ground: The skipper, former skipper and the future skipper of the Indian Cricket in a single frame.
We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

There was something definitely off when India played the T20 World Cup in 2022. Lack of coordination or simply a disconnect between the players was clearly visible to the fans and the critics. The firing spirit with which the team is playing under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. The boys are looking out for each other.
