Virat Kohli is a superhero. His record in his still short career is sufficient to make most batsmen jealous. And at present, he is in an exceptional for. 4 centuries in T20 format in the last few games is something that no other batsmen can boast of. His cover drives are majestic. The way he paces his innings and mixes control with timely aggression is the best part of him as a batsman.
He has matured a lot in past year or so. Not that I had an issue with his aggression in any case. His form, captaincy, temperament, positive attitude and hunger to win games must not be overlooked by the 5 wise men of Indian cricket. It is time to think about and start planning for 2019 World Cup and its the perfect time for Kohli to take over captaincy in all 3 formats. That doesn't 'necessarily' mean that MS Dhoni should be axed from the squad. If Dhoni makes himself available to play under Kohli, Kohli would be able to use Dhoni's experience in the transition phase. Having said that, it is equally important that the wicket-keeper, who would take Dhoni's place in the team for 2019 WC be given a decent run. To prepare for the WC, Kohli should get his team and soon.
