Well, well, it is really a common sight, isn’t it? Death, taxes and Virat Kohli playing well for India. This man can’t stop scoring runs. There is a good chance that by the time he hangs up his boots he will have more runs than the great Sachin Tendulkar.

But that is a topic for another day. Right now, he has carried his team to the semi-final of the Champions Trophy with yet another great innings. While Shikhar Dhawan was batting with aggression, Virat Kohli played the role of the sheet anchor by scoring 76 off 101 balls.

This might be an innings unlike the usual Kohli, but the ability to adapt is what sets the great apart from the good.
