In the world of cricket, Virat Kohli is a popular name. From Indian cricketers to international athletes, many have praised his play and on-field persona. This time, it is the Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai who has shown admiration for Virat Kohli’s aggression on the field. She stated, “I like Virat Kohli’s aggression. He’s got the next-level passion for cricket.”
Since his debut in 2008, Virat has contributed significantly across all formats. He has emerged as one of the most aggressive and impactful players of the 21st century.
His aggression on the field is not about his words or outbursts, but about his intention and care for the team. His aggressive style has been central to his success as one of the greatest cricketers of modern-day cricket.
Many cricketers have spoken out in support of Virat and his aggressive attitude, which helps the team gain momentum out on the field.
“I noticed that spark and aggression in him, something which many guys were not fond of, to be very honest. And there were many guys who were criticising him for that. And today that has become the strength of the Indian team,” said Tendulkar in 2017.
“The kind of aggression and attitude he brings on to the field help the team gain intensity,” said Kumble. “I highly regard him as one of the greatest of the modern era, across all three formats.
When you have a player of that calibre in your side, it’s crucial that you’re constantly asking him to get the best out of himself.”
While there are many admirers of Virat’s aggressive style, there are many who think that he should tone it down a bit.
In a recent interaction, Virat got candid and talked about his aggression and the criticism he received.
“It’s naturally kind of getting tapered down again…People are not happy about that either. I don’t know what to do, to be honest. Earlier, my aggression was a problem, now my calmness is a problem. It’s like, I have no idea what needs to be done, that’s why I don’t focus on it much.”
