Kohli backs himself to keep going

Over the last two years, Virat Kohli has more often than not been described as the in-form batsman, especially in the shorter versions of cricket. So, it was an unusual situation when the Delhi batsman failed to make a mark for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League.

For the first half of the tournament, Kohli did get his eye in on a number of times but could not convert any of those efforts into a match-winning one. As a result, concerns were raised when the team management decided to drop skipper Daniel Vettori and hand over the reins to one of the best young cricketers in the world.
