Kohli stressed on the fact that India has abundance of talent and it is now the responsibility of the youngsters to take T20I cricket forward and bring glory to the nation.

Virat Kohli had a pretty dry run in the recently concluded T20 World Cup. But as they say, 'cometh the hour, cometh the man', Virat Kohli stood tall in Barbados and led India to a total of 176 runs with his valiant and gritty knock of 76 off 59 balls. Kohli who won the ODI World Cup in 2011 and the Champions Trophy in 2013 was only bereft of the T20 World Cup which he has now managed to win.
