Virat kholi is playing the international cricket as a simple thing, he is just continuing as he did in under 19 cricket.he is an aggressive and attacking player.He is also showing good dedication in the field. he is trying to convert the innings to big ones.
The young boy has scored 7 ODI centuries in this brief time.
He is playing classic shots, not just hitting the ball for six.
Initially he was in and out of the team but now he has become a permanent member in Indian team. If some one could match in runs or in centuries with Sachin , then it will be Virat kholi in the future.
In this year he has also scored 1000 runs with a century knock on yesterdays match.
surely he will become the back bone of future Indian cricket and possibly a future captain.

I think Virat Kohli is a great talent. He has started his career brilliantly. I think more than just his talent with the bat, it is the cricketing brain that this kid has that is amazing. I think he is the next big thing in the Indian cricket. I only hope that he also develops into a great Test player. Currently he is an integral part of the T20 and the ODI squads.
Cheers!

Ya now he is am integral part of indian odi & t20 squad. As you have pointed, he should show his talent in test matches also. I hope he will soon become a permanent member of test squad also. He is surely having a bright futre ahead. Do you wish virat to break sachins century record in future?

I think he is surely master blaster in ODIs .But i would like to see how he does in test matches and under really testing conditions whether its spin or swing.Just like Raina who is an excellent player in limited overs cricket but struggles every now and then in tests.Virat Kohli too struggled in his first test series against WI.Sachin after becoming good player in ODIs proved himself in tests too by playing excellent innings at Perth in 1993 under extremely testing conditions and against a very good attack,hence if Kohli wants to match Sachin he has to make it big under testing conditions too which he has not done so far, however he has the potential to make it big, that i agree.

Virats performance in test cricket will really test him. He has not played much tests, so we cannot evaluate him without giving some time. Even if he plays well in tests it will be tough for him to reach sachins record in test. And the number of test matches is decreasing, so no way to break sachins record in test. I think it will not be broken by anyone. But in odi virat is having a good chance to match with sachin if he continue in the manner that he is doing now. And i would also like to add that sachin is only one, and no one will be equal to sachin.

We(Indian fans) have lots of expectations from Kohli ,similar to that we had from Gambhir.Gambhir not only proved himself in India but he played brilliant cricket in tri series at Aus where Indian won and there after he played well for India in tests too.In my view Kohli is similar sort of player in temperament and technique, he did well in England by scoring a century and now it will be interesting to see how he will play in Australia.

Virat Kohli comes across as someone who is a keen student of the game. He is hungry for runs and knows the importance of scoring big runs to cement his place in this Indian team where competition for batting slots is fierce. He is not just scoring 4s and 6s to please the crowds, but he also likes to takes singles and twos and learning the art of building the innings. And consider he is young, he has a big future ahead, if he keeps focused.

Virat is in tremendous form right now . Only thing is , it should not get into his head . Other wise he will end up just like another young cricketer , who ended their career after a promising start. I see him as a future captain too. He should shape up as an All-rounder, which will be good for him and the team India.

Yes. You have pointed out a valid point. His performance should not add more head weight. But it looks like he is already having some head weight. And he tries from my he can share him as a good all sounder,which indian team is very much needed.as you pointed many youngsters failed after getting good start to their carrier. Yuvi is am example for that. But virat look different for me. I think he will become next super star in indian cricket and a future captain too.

Hi
Surely Virat is nice find for Indian team. He is in good form right now. And Yes he completed 1000 runs in this year and which makes him on third position for highest run making in this year. And yes he is surely like a master blaster for India. Not only in ODI he is doing good with T20 too. About test match , he is not their right now but I am sure soon he will get place their too.

yes he has beeen soo consistent in the odis .. he has really a very bright future .. but lets not make pressure on him by giving him the tag of the next tendulkar .. lets hope for the best .... his start is good but still he has to face a lot of challenges .. i want to give the example of irfan pathan, who was regarded as the next wasim akram .. but unfortunately , he couldnt make a comeback from the bad patch form ..

First of all you spell his name wrong - his name is Virat Kohli and not kholi.Yes you are right he is a very talented player and the future of Indian Cricket.He is a long run player and a perfect all rounder,who not only could ball and bat but also wonderful in fielding.With his presence ,India now having a good Middle order back bone.If now Sehwag and Tendulkar comes then the team would be perfect one with the inclusion of Zaheer Khan.

oh, sorry for the mistake...
surely he is a good player altogether, he is always dynamic even if he is not playin in the eleven still he is very much passionate in cricket.
these kind of players always boost the team and is always good to have players like Virat in Indian team.Sachin and Viru is a big miss in this series.
