The red-hot captain-opener has given himself license to go for the jugular in the initial overs, allowing Kohli & the rest of the middle-order to play to their strengths & coolly consolidate the early advantage. Or, when the plan works perfectly, maybe even chase a few milestones!
DHARAMSHALA: There seems to be a lot of hand-wringing among cricket watchers over Virat Kohli making a spectacle of getting to his 48th ODI ton against Bangladesh. The perception is that India were unwilling to crush the opposition and instead allowed a personal milestone to take shape. It is an over-reaction.
