Aah that's a splendid century 'oops It's out'

Virat Kholi after getting caught in the 5th day of the test match  against
Australia 
So it's again the first day of test in Brisbane and it's again a sloppy dismissal for Murli Vijay, for all the work that Vijay did in the field this day, come's to a very unwanted climax again a stumped after a splendid knock of 144(runs) in "The Gabba" today reminds of just the last test against the australia in which Virat Kholi got out to a very irresponsible shot at that moment in the game, had he kept his calm and played as he was playing India would have won the match.
     This little thing had me thinking for a while when this thought came to me from my two good friends in very harsh words if you may excuse them, "it's the fault of Virat Kohli that India lost the match " and when I tried to reason with them there came a beautiful explanation "it's the duty of set batsmen in test cricket to go all the way  or at least not try to give it away when he's set for it may be a different pitch to someone who has just came in" and I said it to me these century's are nothing before the really good feeling after winning the match or is it just the milestone for the batsmen to hit a century and he can rub his hands off that he did his duty and it's not his fault , or are we not being fare to the players who have bent their back playing in the 5th days pitch when there's really a very little for the batsmen, than I said all right we should look back at time to see what is really great hitting one after another century while keeping your personel milestone in the mind, or is it that one really great inning that you play in a lifetime and be reckoned for that for the rest of your life it's really a very thin barrier between these two innings, but it's all about the mindset of the batsmen who is playing.

     It was really nothing but a small gesture from my friends, but they said a really great thing accidentally even if they don't realize it in the future. Not everyone remembers how great a player Kapil Dev was but most of them know that his knock in 1983 that made the India World Champions was the knock of his life isn't that a reason enough and example enough of the sense of responsibility.
