5. Virat Kohli’s unflinching determination
Virat Kohli, the batsman, has been in such sublime form that he has completely overshadowed Virat Kohli, the skipper. Driven, motivated and hungry are just some of the adjectives one can use to define Kohli on the field in IPL 2016. Apart from leading from the front with his bat, he has been ruthless as a skipper and hasn’t shied away from dropping big names against popular opinion.
He also needs to be credited for marshalling his limited bowling resources splendidly well. Kohli, the skipper expects every team member to give 120% on the field and has shown the way himself with his intensity on the field.
Despite getting out for a rare duck in the first qualifier, Kohli was every bit into the chase even from the sidelines. After the World T20 disappointment, there is no way Kohli is letting go of the IPL trophy.
