Aggression has been Virat Kohli‘s strength on the cricket field, then be it while batting or captaining the Indian team. The best example of this was his verbal duel against the former Australian pacer Mitchell Johnson during India’s tour of Australia in the 2014/15 season.

“As I grew up, I never wanted to be too calm. I think Virat also has said this. His best friend is his anger. You learn how to use that anger and channel it into proper things. There is a fire in everybody. I think you can’t play a sport like cricket or anything in life if don’t have a fire inside you”, said Rahul while speaking on ‘Breakfast with Champions.
