Kohli's Kolaveri: A Quantum of Solace

To all people intrigued by 'Why this Kolaveri' song and not sure of the meaning of 'Kolaveri', take a look at Virat Kohli's innings today and the way he helped India chase down 321 runs in merely 37 overs. That, ladies and gentlemen, was 'Kolaveri' in it's purest form.
Captaining India's Under-19 side to World cup victory in 2008 and then helping India win 'Emerging Players Tournament' in 2009, Kohli is not new to top-class performances. But to perform consistently on the big stage alongside some of the greatest names of world cricket is no easy joke. It is heartening to see his success in Australia this summer, hope he continues the good job for a long long time.
Whether India make it to finals (riding on Sri Lanka losing to Australia on Friday) or not, this victory of Himalayan magnitude will sure do a world of good to the embattled Indian team. With injuries, talks of rift in the team, big questions begging for answers in the Test team and a hectic subcontinent summer season ahead, this wonderful victory is a quantum of solace in an otherwise forgettable and tiring tour.
