#ViratKohli is not just a great cricketer. He represents the new face of India's youth. Supremely confident, aggressive, driven, focussed, inspired. Risk taker. With an unparalleled belief in himself. In his Nation. In his team. Nothing can stop him.

Top drawer century from @imVkohli. Held the side together when there was danger and just so easily changed style and attacked.
