In the 90s and also the first decade of the 21st century, many Indian fans would actually look forward to the second wicket falling in a Test match.

Why? Well the answer was simple. India's icon Sachin Tendulkar would walk out to bat.?
Post Sachin's retirement, the anticipation has not gone down either. Because a man who many say have taken the legend's place is now making that position his own.

Virat Kohli, ladies and gentlemen! Yes, the Test skipper has that similar aura about him and the crowd has warmed up to him pretty well.
The Sachin chant has found a successor. Kohli is the new No. 4 for Team India and since his promotion to that slot, his batting has improved in leaps and bounds.

The 28-year-old is his team's main batsman and the leader the players look up to. No. 4 is his spot and that is why bowlers cannot relax even when they snap up two early wickets.
