Team India Test skipper Virat Kohli is known to lead by example and one man who has inspired by this is none other than his main spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.

Speaking to India Today, Ashwin said he believes there is no one word which can sum up Kohli and is confident that he will take Indian cricket to new heights.
2016 can be described as the year of Virat Kohli. The man has been in great touch across all formats.

He has so far blasted three hundreds and three fifties in ODIs and scored two double hundreds in Test cricket. The 27-year-old was also at his imperious best in T20 cricket, hammering three successive fifties in the T20 series before turning his focus on the Asia Cup T20 and the World T20. Kohli also amassed a record-shattering 973 runs including four hundreds in this year's Indian Premier League.?
Ashwin himself has been in great form and hails Kohli's ability to chase down targets as a great blessing to the team.

A long season lies ahead and if these two keep up their good work in the respective departments, Ashwin's dream of Kohli taking them into uncharted waters may well be realised.
