Virat Kohli too hot to handle for the Kiwis !!!!







On a test match that could have gone either way until the fourth day Virat Kohli has come to India's rescue once again.What a phenomenol player he is turning out to be.It is really good to see someone finally working hard and not throwing away wicket when required.Indian team on the whole played well only worrying factor was that its been a long time since we have seen Sachin Tendulkar make a century :(...I hope he will be back soon to his normal self soon and we will relive something like the legandary match that was held in Sarjha where Sachin Tendulkar single handedly picked on the aussies with full of 4s and 6s would love to see that again..Hopefully soon :)..Below is the scorecard!
