Nothing that happened in his short spell at the Boston Braves could stain his name, yet Ruth's move from the New York Yankees turned out to be an almighty flop. Arriving in February 1935, Ruth – baseball's biggest draw of the era and a player whose name resonates to this day – offered just glimpses of his glory days. On May 25, he thundered three home runs, albeit in a losing cause against Pittsburgh.

Kohli was first appointed vice-captain for the 2012 Asia Cup, which followed India's tour of Australia for a Test series and a tri-series in 2011-12.
