It was not the ideal pitch for batters, yet Kohli, with his genius and mastery - made batting look extremely easy. He has been in ominous touch since his unbeaten fifty at the SCG last month during the final ODI. He hit a brilliant century in the ODI opener versus South Africa in Ranchi and then followed it up with yet another hundred - he is truly showing age is just a number and he still has a lot of cricket left in him.

Kohli to Feature in VHT

Kohli, who initially claimed that his cricket is more mental and not physical, is set to follow Board of Control of Cricket in India's mandate that he has to play domestic cricket in order to stay fit. For the unversed, Kohli only features in the 50-over format, having retired from Tests and T20Is. After his retirement from Tests, he shifted to London with his family. He is expected to feature in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy where Delhi will play their first game on December 24.
