"Sport has nothing to do with fair play – in other words, it's less war the shots." – George Orwell
When George Orwell says something, you accept it as a gospel. But I think we know someone who plays cricket this way, does not it?
On November 5, 1988, a superstar was born in Delhi. Yes, we are talking about Virat Kohli, the man who wears his heart, the player who plays every game as the last game of his life.
Kohli never ceases to amaze us, whether with his master hitter or with his impressive field. But what about his leadership?
Many commentators and experts have claimed that Kohli was more Australian than Indian, and rightly so. The Indian skipper maintained the Australian type of intensity and aggression in all parts of the match; he celebrates each wicket as if it was the last time he will witness on the field, and that tells the story of his animated face 24 * 7.
Like many legends who have been criticized for their playing nature, Kohli also faced his fair share every time his emotional outbursts led to some joking on the pitch. But Captain Ferocious has only done better with his leadership.
The captaincy has many attributes, the main one being its own nature.
From tastes of MAK Pataudi, Ajit Wadekar to Kapil Dev and Mohd. Azharuddin, there was a deep-rooted system of accepting challenges, but also accepting defeats in a very gentle way. It changed when "Dada" arrived.
Sourav Ganguly was leading a team that had a wonderful mix of young talents and experience and he pushed them to a level that no other Indian skipper had ever thought of, especially at the time. ;foreign. Hostile leadership was exceptional, even in its existence.
On the other hand, the team led by MS Dhoni did everything to succeed on a cricket ground but did not win much overseas.
In the bastion of the legendary Indian Captain, Kohli stands out – not in terms of success or winning percentage, but in terms of the ability to lead a team with insurmountable self-confidence and vigor until the end. the end of the match. His infectious energy and his ability to carry out virulent attacks on the opposition really made him unique.
Among these many reasons, these three reasons make him the most aggressive Indian captain of all time:
1. He fights fire with fire
"As king, so are the people."
Let's be honest, India has never had a captain who has slaughtered the opposition with his words. This is not the best way to win or help others improve their success rate, but this franchise gives a young team unparalleled confidence to believe in themselves and be bold when they are not. they know that their skipper supports them every time. stage of the game.
Kohli was certainly the most confident drummer on his team. But when it comes to his captain position, trust and energy on the ground soars, and his infectious aggression has affected other people in the process.
It is always him who starts the procedure when it is time to take the opposition. and sometimes he also gives it in advance. He has had innumerable cases where he referred him to the opposition, that he ordered Steve Smith to " stay within his limits " during the test of Adelaide in 2014 or to prevent James Faulkner " my life, come and play bowl."
At the 3rd try in England this year, Stuart Broad was brought to taste his own drug by Kohli. The Indian skipper reminded Broad what you received for treating a young man in the same way as he did when he gave the beginner Rishabh Pant a hard letter. Needless to say, India had never had a captain of this type before
