#4 Virat Kohli

In so many ways from Sachin to Virat Kohli what we've seen is nothing less than a passing of the torch in Indian as well as world cricket.
Virat Kohli is to cricket now what Sachin was to cricket in the 90s and 00s and in many ways, it looked like a logical progression for MRF as well to sign up Virat Kohli and sponsor his bat. Succinctly it can be said there's a reason why Virat's bat also carries the word "Genius" on his bat, the same phrase which was given to the Little Master when he was playing.
Virat coming out to bat and batting with that same authority depicted by Sachin in his heydays really turns the clock back a few notches.
