Sometimes good tours prove to be turning points in a player's career. In exceptional cases, bad tours also turn out be pivotal points in the life of a sportsperson.

Since that abysmal tour to England in 2014, Kohli has turned into a complete run-machine in the longer format of the game, scoring in excess of 1000 runs twice in the last four years.

In 2015, he made 640 runs in 9 matches. In 2016, 1215 runs in 12 matches. In 2017, 1059 runs in 10 matches.

In 2018, the right-hander has made 286 in three Tests, that includes a superb 153 against a testing South African attack at Centurion. He will now hope to carry that form into England and do well there.
