It's not been the best of times for Virat Kohli the captain over the last few months. While India lost the ODI series to Australia 2-3, Kohli had a nightmarish IPL with Royal Challengers Bangalore, losing their first six games to finish last on the points table.

However, the IPL-12 experience was one of Kohli's biggest learnings of captaincy where one has, in his own words, "to accept things the way they are." Known to have supreme control over things, Kohli the leader will be back in India colours to help the country win their third World Cup.
