Virat Kohli - only reason for girls to watch cricket.

Cricketers are treated like gods in India where no one is allowed to use harsh words for them. The critics are blasted if they overhype their assessment on the poor performance of a star player. This game has gained popularity among the female masses with the passage of time. They are the ones who are more emotionally connected to a particular player and no matter how he plays on the field, their love remains intact for that player. Among the current set of Indian players, Virat Kohli is miles ahead of the rest when it comes to his attraction among the opposite sex. MS Dhoni, the Indian captain, is the most famous and also the highest earner in this game across the globe but he is nowhere near to Virat’s popularity.

The Indian vice captain has achieved a lot on the 22 yards but what is it which makes him more famous to the majority of the female population? Kohli, the right hand batsman, ticks all the boxes when it comes to X factor. He carries his heart on his sleeves, which connects him with beautiful faces. Apart from this, Virat Kohli has got an aggressive attitude and doesn’t mind in using it. He has the looks which fires up females even from a thousand kilometers. The future leader of India’s next generation cricketers is not averse to sledging and showing middle finger to the section of crowd.

He has been often termed as "arrogant", "brash" and "bad boy" by the media but this is what girls are interested in these days. They don’t want a guy to be simple and reserved but instead are ready to fall for someone, who shows his nature and character in front of the whole world. The man under the scanner has got intense eyes, which speaks a lot. He has built strong biceps by working in the gym while his ever changing hair styles suits his personality.

Neither too lean and neither too heavy, Virat Kohli has the perfect physique. He looks stunning in whatever he wears and mind you, he could kill many if shirt or jersey is off from his body. He has got three tattoos inked on his body. One being on his upper right arm showing his own Zodiac Sign Scorpio, the second being a little lower on the same arm and the last one is a Japanese samurai warrior with a raised sword. The Japanese tattoo shows his confidence level both in his personal and professional life. He has often stated that the tattoo of the samurai warrior is lucky for him. If this is not enough for the females, he has keen interest in shopping as well. This is one area which is very close to girls and they like guys, who spend their money in making their wardrobe attractive. Always properly dressed, Virat has an eye for latest fashion trends and has even gone for experiments to make himself look out of the box.

The shades which he wears during the course of international games and even outside the stadiums are trendy. Not just with his dressing sense, he is so comfortable in front of the camera as well. Kohli looks confident sharing space with B-town divas in the TV commercials and certainly adds value to the brands he endorses. He has become the face of many ad campaigns and is fondly watched by his fans of the opposite sex. 

Unlike the former stars, Virat is from a league of cricketers, who likes to work hard and party even harder. Earlier, the cricketers from this Asian country were only interested in cricket and devoted their spare time with families or at hotels. However, Virat is different in this case. He loves to party and is often seen at famous pubs in his free time. The dashing Indian cricketer is one of the richest cricketers around and likes to spend it too on cool and pricey accessories. The height of his fame was witnessed by the world when one of the female English cricketers proposed him--Danielle Wyatt. She also met him when Team India was on a tour of England in the ongoing year.

He is currently dating Bollywood beauty Anushka Sharma. I know the chances of a common girl becoming the love interest of Virat is minimum but strange things have happened in the past. It is impossible to diminish Virat’s image in front of his female followers as he has stamped his authority on their hearts...

Hope you would have liked it...sightly off topic but its  for some one very near to me...!!!

Ind vs Eng - a thrilling draw..!!

      

"We need to accept what happened on the negative side, and learn from it in the next game."

India captain Virat Kohli is not used to saying such words while leading the side on home soil. Since taking over the reins of the Test team, he has enjoyed a dominant run in home conditions, with the Indians winning six out of seven matches, and the only exception being a rain-affected draw against South Africa.

However, England did come close at Rajkot, and Kohli's men only just escaped with a draw. From being perceived as throwaway favourites ahead of the series, given the troubles the visitors had faced in their tour of Bangladesh last month, India only escaped defeat thanks to Kohli's fightback on the final day. However, the close finish certainly sets the tone for further exciting contests between the two sides.

While England would be rejoicing at the discovery of a hidden gem in Haseeb Hameed, who could prove to be captain Alastair Cook's long-term opening partner, the Indian camp has plenty to ponder over. For instance, the batting unit imploded in the face of pressure, as was the case on the final day, when they collapsed to 71 for 4. Their bowlers, especially the spinners, then got tonked for runs at a time when their English counterparts seemed to have done a fairly commendable task.

After bowling India out 49 runs short of their first innings total of 537, Cook and Hameed deflated the Indian attack to put up 180 runs for the first wicket, a record for England in India.

Hameed, who made his debut in this Test, followed up his 31 from the first innings with 82 in the second, the highest Test score by an English teenager, beating Jack Crawford's 74 in Cape Town in 1906.

While Joe Root coudn't quite repeat his first innings heroics, where he set the foundation for the 500-plus total with a 180-ball 124, Ben Stokes' promotion to No 4 showed the visitors' intent of getting quick runs on the board while giving their bowlers enough time to enforce a result. Cook eventually brought up his 30th Test century - his fifth in India, a record in itself - before declaring the innings once he was dismissed.

If India ever harboured thoughts of chasing down the 310-run target in the stipulated 49 overs, they would have required quick partnerships up the order. Gautam Gambhir did the exact opposite, poking a short ball from Woakes to Root in the slips, thereby also endangering his career yet again. Considering the opener's spot in the Indian cricket team is circled by plenty of hawks, Gambhir ended up did his chances no good, walking back for a duck after being set up by a few short balls.

Things only got worse thereafter for the hosts. Cheteshwar Pujara was adjudged LBW for a delivery that was pitched outside leg (the idea of reviewing it somehow went for a walk that moment). Vijay, India's other first innings centurion, also suffered a lapse of concentration to be caught at short-leg after a bat-pad deflection.

Ajinkya Rahane did nothing to reduce the negativity that had been piling on him after a poor run in the recent ODIs against New Zealand, playing an atrocious short against a Moeen Ali delivery that stayed low and crashed into his stumps after hitting the pad. At 71 for 4, the visitors were sniffing a 1-0 series lead.

Kohli's unbeaten 98-ball 49 helped save the day for India, and might go down in history as one of his most underrated knocks. Statistics may not convey the tenaciousness of his stay at the crease, but his knock was vital in ensuring the visitors didn't make further breakthroughs and get at India's tail. Kohli got crucial partnerships with Ashwin (whose 53-ball 32 was brought to an end by an impatient drive straight to the extra-cover fielder) as well as Jadeja (scored as many runs as Ashwin, except that he remained unbeaten, and his strokes were cheered more loudly) to secure the draw.

There were few positives for the hosts from this game, the successful pairing of Vijay and Pujara at the fall of the first wicket, and Ashwin continuing to justify his tag as the No 1 all-rounder in the world being two of them. But that takes little away from the fact that the hosts were on the backfoot throughout this match, and they have a lot to catch up on if they are to gain the upper hand at Vizag. There are concerns across all departments of the squad, and the hosts cannot afford any leisure over the next three.

One could say that Kohli and Co indulged in complacency at Rajkot. Only time will tell if they learnt a lesson out of this experience or not.
