Once a leader, always a leader, they say and Virat Kohli proves this again and again. The captaincy has passed on to different names, from Virat Kohli to Faf du Plessis to Rajat Patidar to Jitesh Sharma, but Kohli stood as a guiding angel to his players. It's not that he is popular with aggressive celebration, celebrating more than the bowler himself, but he chats with the bowlers, plans before getting a wicket. A similar incident happened to young Suyasha, who bagged Henrich Klassen. Klassen was hitting well and just hit a boundary when Kohli ran to Suyash to have a word. In the following ball, Suyash gave a deceiving googly that left Heinrich Klaasen undone. Pitching on leg stump, the wrong’un spun into Klaasen’s hitting arc, tempting him into a big slog over long-on. He cleared his left leg and swung hard, aiming for power, but mistimed it completely. The ball caught the bottom part of the bat and ballooned high into the air. Romario Shepherd, stationed near long-on, stayed calm under pressure and completed a safe catch.
