What if Virat Kohli played before the dawn of ODI cricket?

#1 India would have been a cricketing power-house long ago

The World Cup victory was what started the cricket revolution in India

It was only after their unexpected triumph over the West Indies in the 1983 World Cup final that Indian cricket got some sort of recognition as a heavyweight. Though the Indian team produced prominent names since their coronation to international cricket, the killer strike missed big time.

The urge to win, the itch to pull off something incredible didn’t happen and as a result, the wins took some time to flourish. A captain like Virat Kohli would certainly have inculcated more energy and zeal to take down their rivals.

An astute captain, Kohli doesn’t mind giving a few runs away in the quest to eke out wickets, but never permits opponents in getting under his skin which sets him apart from the rest of the world.
