There was a happy-days-are-here-again ring to it. It was something Virat Kohli had been waiting three years for along with his compatriots, all aware that international cricket seldom allowed anyone the chance to stay on even if you were not living up to your fame. That would have added a tick-tock suspense to it. One or two lapses would be given the benefit of the doubt but three years of falling short of popular expectations can imply a full stop forever.
Truth to tell, serial failure will not run to that length of time. White-ball cricket is a refuge then, and stuff that keeps you in the headlines and pictures. India is the country of magic, after all. It wows the world. So a visit to Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar temple and Kohli is a century-maker again!
