an interesting article and read about where indias batting future is going:

Quote:

Can Virat Kohli be the Indian Teams new Sachin Tendulkar? More to the point can Virat Kohli play the Role that Tendulkar did for India through his golden age? Well truly there is only one Tendulkar. With his class and stroke play that have dazzled us on many days. He is a legend of cricket and a case can be made that he is the greatest batsmen that ever lived. Holding the record for centuries and most runs in International cricket. No Virat Kohli is not Tendulkar but I can see him play the role that India had Tendulkar play.

Can he become the cornerstone of Indias New batting lineup? We all know Tendulkar is heading toward the end of his career and it will be a sad day when he hangs his pads up, but India will need to find a suitable candidate to play the role he played for them. Sachin used to help India get off to a great start but most importantly was always there to anchor the innings, case and point the most centuries by any man who has ever played cricket. He guided India to setting and chasing many High totals and was a pillar for India even when other batsmen crumbled around him. It was a joy to watch him during his best.

The real test for India now is finding another cornerstone who can guide India. This i believe can be Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli is a confident young man with an amazing array of shots to dazzle fans with. He seems to have a steady head and at the moment the only pillar holding the Indian shaky middle order together and the lone bright spot India had after this T20 world cup. He seems to have the temperment and class to be a star for India. He has proven he has the skill and attitude to get to the top. He has already played a big hand in many Indian victories over the last 2 years. Virat has been consistent and even when India was struggling on there tours he was one of the few bright spots that were present for that team. Virat has the skill to take over being the pillar of India and i believe India is hoping he does too.

The new era of Indian Cricket is coming forward. The likes of Sehwag, Tendulkar, and Gambhir are heading toward the end of there careers and the youth will have to take over. A steady batsmen will be a great asset to guide India to there future.

Kohli should worry about being the first Kohli.

And not be another Dhoni....

Spikey · 19-10-2012, 05:04 AM

if he keeps on scoring runs under pressure, no.

Spooony · 19-10-2012, 05:54 AM

Dhoni use to be good at calculating a run chase. Then he suddenly ordered a no hit combo from the local Delhi

Kohli has more similarities with Pontiing then Sachin I think his career will form a similar pattern to Ponting.
