Virat Kohli is one of the promising young cricketers in India who is called as "the Rahul Dravid in making". Dravid, former Indian captain, is a living legend who is known for his batting technique throughout the cricket playing nations in the world. To replace Dravid in the batting order is not an easy task but this youngster is really promising. Like experienced cricketers, he shows a lot of patience and is composed in the field when Indian players are throwing their wickets at the other end. He has played over 30 matches now and is the fastest Indian cricketer to reach 1000 ODI runs in just 24 innings. So far he has two centuries and eight fifties in ODIs to his credit. He started playing first class cricket for Delhi in the year 2006. He also plays for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. He made his debut in international cricket against SriLanka in August, 2008. He was also the captain of the Indian under 19 world cup winning team. He has got a good average (over 45) in one day internationals. His fans expect that his talent would fetch him a place in the upcoming ODI world cup next year(2011) that will be hosted by the Asian cricketing nations.

India is the second largest populous country in the world next only to China. Here the country's most populous cities are given with their estimated population (not the urban agglomeration).
With a little less than 14 million citizens Mumbai stands out as the most populous city in the world. Next to it comes the national capital of the country (Delhi) which has a population of around 12.5 million. The population of New Delhi is not included to Delhi's population. The IT capital (Bangalore) of India is the third most populous in the list with only around 5.5 million citizens. The city attracts people from different parts of the country and people with different mother tongues can be found in the city. Kolkata and Chennai are the other two cities in the list in the top five with 5.1 and 4.6 million respectively.
Including the top 5 cities in the country there are 43 cities totally with a population of more than 1 million.
