India vs England 2016: 5 gains for Team India from the second Test in Vizag

#2 Kohli grasps the art of Test batting

Kohli led from the front with his almost impeccable shot selection

In the present Indian Test batting lineup, Virat Kohli has commanded the most attention whenever he arrives at the crease. Even though comparisons with some of the very best have been thrust upon him, there were question marks surrounding his ability to negotiate relentless spells of pressure under difficult conditions.

He went a long way in dispelling those concerns by adapting splendidly to the uneven bounce on the Vizag surface. It was only inevitable that Kohli would capture the intricacies involved within batting at the Test level. If his masterful 167 in the first innings or adroit 81 in the second innings were any indication, the 28-year-old has crossed another tipping point in his quest for greatness.
