Zimbabwe vs India 2013: Five talking points

1. Virat Kohli’s Century

The captain of the Indian team proved that he was given the job for a reason. The elan with which he carried out the rescue job for India in the chase was reminiscent of the ease with which MS Dhoni controls the innings. The batting style of the two batsmen in poles apart but the comfort and the trust they evoke in the Indian cricket fan is comparable.

His innings of 115 (half-the-target) contained 14 boundaries including one six. He dominated the spinners using his feet to great effect and donned a devastating character after getting his half-century. India can rest assured that they will complete a whitewash as long as the captain continues to lead from the front.
