Virat Kohli has ZIDD to prove his critics wrong. The goal in Bangarul, where the world was questioning the RCB’s home record. Play the ball with merits and take calculated risks when needed. That makes him consistent and brings him closer to the orange cap. True champion.

Even in this T20 era, Kohli shows that you can play traditional cricket and still maintain a very good SR.
One of the kind men. There are only two greats in all formats, and he is one of them.
