Madan Lal "loves" Virat Kohli’s aggression
The head of BCCI’s advisory committee, Madan Lal, has expressed his delight at Indian captain Kohli’s aggression. Kohli received flak from the media for a fiery send-off he gave to Kane Williamson, the New Zealand skipper, after his dismissal in the final innings of a disappointing test and ODI legs for the Indian team.
"I don't understand why people in India are asking him to mellow down," Lal, the former India allrounder, was quoted as saying by the Times of India. "First everyone wanted a very aggressive captain and now you want Kohli to stop his aggressive streak. I love the way he is on the field. Earlier, people used to say that Indians are not aggressive; now that we've become aggressive people question that and ask why we are so aggressive. I enjoy Kohli's aggression; we need a captain like him."
Virat Kohli’s brand of an aggressive and bold approach to the game has brought him much success over the years and taken him to the top of the ladder in the field. Even though the Indian and RCB captain endured a sticky run of form in the tour to New Zealand, that should not be a cause for concern, as Madan Lal stressed, saying “He was out of form. You can say it was a loss of confidence. That (the New Zealand tour) doesn't take anything away from him. He is still the world's best player. At times, technical flaws come in and you then try harder and harder but still you don't come out of it. It happens to the best of players.”
