Virat Kohli deserves the elevation to the vice-captaincy

hat was a week full of comedies and tragicomedies and off the field for Indian cricket.

And the Board of Control of Cricket in India can never be far behind.

First, his decision to call the team for the Cup Asia even before India was removed from the triseries Down Under seem a bit of haste.

And when confusing reasons were given for 'rest' Virender Sehwag, you know the selection committee, referred to sometimes as a bunch of jokers of this member Mohinder Amarnath, once again showed how incompetent it can be. However, what took the cake was the street press conference 'which has now become a standard. Nowhere in the world you find any sports body officer out on the streets to face TV cameras.

But now it has become customary to see K Srikkanth to deal with the media in a crowded street as the television and print journalists to do their work. In an era where selectors paid professionals, why is the BCCI will not have a proper media conference wins to me.

However, among all this chaos, if there is one good thing has happened, is the height of Virat Kohli to the vice-captaincy. In 23 years of age, and bearing the tag of being India the best player on the circuit, the time of Kohli and the height could not be better.

This tour will be remembered for failure shows in almost all areas and at this stage, it is the rise of the Kohli will be remembered as special. To fight against the inspired Aussies are the best sign of Kohli mature as batsman, though people still raise questions about him being Brash and reckless.

Agreed, when Kohli was caught showing his middle finger in the Sydney Test, was indignation about how the dashing young man crossed the border in master play. But let us not forget that in all the Test series which India got whacked 0-4, it was only Kohli who scored a century.

More recently, we relive the whirlwind knock that Kohli has played against Sri Lanka to give the Indians a short lifeline in the tri-series before the inevitable happened.

Arrogance, attitude, and authority - you could see a mix of everything in Kohli's knock at Hobart, where even a star bowler Lasith Malinga as he was put to the sword. Returning to his elevation to the vice-captain, if the fear is that Kohli is immature, and Brash, then it is an erroneous line of thought. In today's cut-throat world of professional cricket, kids with attitude need to be rewarded.

My firm belief is now that Kohli was given the responsibility, he will rise to the occasion and become more mature. He knows that as vice-captain, he will have to Shoulder some responsibility as well. And this is something of which the Indian team can only win.

We Rewind to the late 1990s and look like one of the best Aussie cricketers also prepared as a vice-captain. Today, the world of cricket know Ricky Ponting as one of the most successful batsmen in Tests and ODIs. Ponting was forced to leave ODIs recently and hope he will still be part of the country Test campaigns.

But as a young player, and in 1998-99, Ponting too had its share of problems with discipline. When the pugnacious batsman turned up once during a news conference with a black eye, he did not hesitate to admit he was in dispute.

However, the Aussie selectors raised him as Steve Waugh's deputy. The two got along famously well, and once Ponting turned a leaf, he was a brilliant leader. In Kohli's problems are not really similar to Ponting, being assigned the vice-captaincy is a sign of faith to be placed in him by the wise men in the Indian cricket board.

There are tongues wagging that Kohli's new role means the days of Gautam Gambhir being touted as a future captain is finished. But you do not forget that this really is an indicator, that is the end of the road for Gambhir.

Anil Kumble had hardly ever been considered for the leadership of the team, and yet he led the Test team with success when entrusted with the responsibility.

Sehwag Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh was vice-captains, but it was never a guarantee of the BCCI that these people will be looked at as captaincy material. Now that Dhoni has been retained as captain for the Asian Cup and he has a new deputy, we may see something new in the field in Dhaka.

And looking at the amount of cricket being played by the Indian team in the coming months, we can say with certainty that the BCCI has already picked up on the vice-captain who is assured of their place in both the Test and ODI teams.

Just to jog the readers memory, Kohli was captain when India won the Under-19 World Cup in 2008. Perhaps, when the ICC World T20 comes later this year, Kohli can even assume the mantle of leadership.

Kohli has already shown us that even in ODI, he can bat with the intensity of the T20 game. Only that the score that India pursued against Lanka and the magic one's batting was like two T20 chase in succession!
