Birmingham: "You cannot compare any other batsman with Virat Kohli." This was India's bowling coach Bharat Arun's recent response when asked what the Indian skipper is doing differently than the rest. Kohli has struck four half-centuries in this World Cup and is batting like a dream. He has been tested in all conditions and has come out triumphant. Whether it was the flat track at The Oval v Australia or tricky tracks against Afghanistan [Southampton] and West Indies [Manchester], Kohli has batted fluently.
He is nowhere in the Top 5 top run-getters even as the tournament reaches its business end. Yet, Kohli has dominated attacks. A lot has been said about his positive approach and mindset that put him in a league of its own. On the eve of the big clash against England, which will seal India's semi-final spot if they win, Kohli gave a sneak peek into his mindset. The 316 runs he has scored in five innings (25x4 and 2x6), Kohli has still managed a strike rate of 98.44. How?
