There is no more consummate driver of the cricket ball than Virat Kohli. To watch him get his left foot to the pitch of the ball, bring the bat down with a flourish and break his wrists to keep the cherry down despite his hard hands is a sight for sore eyes, an event that has played itself on loop over the last few days.
But strap Kohli into a car and toss him the keys, and not even he will be able to drive with any comfort on the roads of Visakhapatnam.

The otherwise clean and beautiful port city can be a nightmare for first-time drivers. Not because the roads are little strips of asphalt around potholes, like in Bengaluru, but because they are in impeccable condition, thereby facilitating ease of negotiation. Vehicles of all hues pour in from all directions, necessitating one to be on their mental toes every second of the way. The search for a less offensive term to describe the Visakhapatnam traffic ends with ‘mayhem’.
