India vs Bangladesh Live

Watch India vs Bangladesh Live on Jan 12 2010. Kohli shone today with yet another assured knock, though admittedly, the odds weren't stacked against him: Sri Lanka had long given up, the target wasn't stiff, the pitch was flat and the dew was doing its bit to help the batsmen. Still, men seemingly more talented than him, like Rohit Sharma, have failed to grab their opportunities in similar conditions. To appreciate what Kohli has done, it is pertinent to see what Rohit didn't do.

When Sachin Tendulkar returns to the team, though, Kohli might have to give up his spot - he may have done enough to get ahead of Rohit but Suresh Raina is likely to edge him out at No.5 with his ability to play the bigger shots. But Raina, given Kohli's recent form, will be aware of the competition.

Tharanga didn't have a great day today but he has been quietly making giant strides. It's amazing how the man who threatens to displace Sanath Jayasuriya from the ODI opening slot has gone almost unnoticed. This is his second coming and he has almost made one forget the unsure, tentative Tharanga of old. His captain, coach and senior players have not spared an opportunity to talk him up for the World Cup. "What a strong comeback this has been," Mahela Jayawardene said last night after sharing a big opening partnership with him.
