Kohli is one of the finest captains, once in a generation cricketer: BCCI

Bharat Arun played a key role in India becoming a bowling powerhouse. Be it Jasprit Bumrah or Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma or Umesh Yadav. The former India bowling coach played a phenomenal role in building these characters. In one of his free-wheeling chats, he revealed how Bumrah was handed his Test debut against South Africa when India toured the nation four years ago in 2017.

"We had 10-12 days for practice before the start of that South Africa series in 2018. During that period, Virat was extremely impressed with Bumrah in the nets - he said, "He [Bumrah] is the most difficult to face amongst all the bowlers we have." So, he instantly decided that Bumrah would be playing in the first Test, and his career took off from there," Arun told Sportstar.

No.71. If you are a follower of Indian cricket, then you will surely not need much explanation regarding the person associated with this number and why this particular number has received so much attention in cricketing circles. In every match that India has played over the last couple of years, apart from the discussions around the performance of the team, there is that whisper about No.71 that is growing louder with every passing match. When will Virat Kohli score THAT 71st ton?

Kohli produced a masterclass with the willow in the first innings of the 3rd Test match against South Africa last month. On a pitch that was not the easiest to bat on, Kohli concentrated like a hawk and scored a masterly 79. But then, after the master's dismissal, the fuss was about how the 33-year-old had once again missed his 71st hundred.
