If M.S. Dhoni is regarded as a finisher then Virat Kohli should be given the sobriquet beginner, since he has started opening the innings. Well begun is half done, they say.

If M.S. Dhoni is regarded as a finisher then Virat Kohli should be given the sobriquet beginner, since he has started opening the innings. Well begun is half done, they say. There was a time when Sachin Tendulkar was shattering all records, but now it would be safe to assume that Kohli is another Tendulkar in the making. Given the awesome form he is in I think he will dwarf all of Tendulkar’s milestones. He has scored four centuries so far in the IPL, which is the highest by anyone. His indefatigability can be gauged from the fact that he has continued to play despite having an injured hand with stitches. One hopes he continues to bring laurels to the country.
