Four years ago, in the World Cup semi-final, the Australian side dashed Team India and Virat Kohli’s hopes. But the 2015 Kohli will not let the 2019 Kohli fall at the same hurdle. As India gets ready to lock horns with Australia at the World Cup once again, Kohli receives a letter from his 26-year-old self.

Two-time World Cup-winning legend Clive Lloyd has said 2019 will be “an all-rounders’ World Cup”. And suddenly, the controversial Hardik Pandya might just be the ace-in-the-hole for Team India at a tournament where players like him are destined for great things.

There’s no denying that the situation which Dhoni found himself in was a high-stakes one. But there’s no situation in which storming onto the field to argue with the umpires and opponents is justified, especially when you’ve made your name as “Captain Cool”.

Six seasons ago, Virat Kohli became the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore, but his IPL trophy cabinet is still empty. Had any other captain been unable to maximise his players’ potential over so many years, his job would have been on the line. How does Kohli get so much leeway?

Delhi’s IPL team is like a sweet but nagging girlfriend — regardless of what she says or how bad a fight you get into, you always know, even in those moments of frustration, that this is only fleeting and you cannot ever afford to lose her.

Despite all the talent, both innate and acquired, that Jasprit Bumrah possesses, it is his temperament which is his USP. As his clutch performance in Tuesday’s ODI against Australia showed, you’ll never see him losing his cool or crumbling under pressure.
