Virat hit a chivalrous 149 against England

Virat Kohli's Indian side faced England in the first Test at Birmingham, after a series of projections and predictions being made on his immediate future against the English fury. 134 runs in 10 innings at an average of 13.40 - a point that was continuously raised by his critics when asked about his immaculate batsmanship.

King Kohli shunned off all apprehensions with a chivalrous hundred, superseding even the efforts of the best batsmen of the opponents' camp. Exhibiting his steely nerves yet again, Virat looked at utmost ease in the middle and paced the innings perfectly. He was the only ray of hope for the visitors as wickets kept falling at another end.

The skipper was quick enough to switch gears when the situation demanded, and demonstrated the art of batting with tailenders, as he notched partnerships of 105 runs in 25 overs, with the tail contributing just 8 runs!

Unfortunately, Virat's sublime 149 could not result in a victory for India, but this knock was a prowess of the man' mental shield.
