Virat Kohli a passionate and competitive cricketer: Richard Hadlee backs India captain's aggressive approach

Legendary New Zealand all-rounder said he loves watching Virat Kohli play, adding that the India captain has a strong desire and passion to win cricket matches. Kohli will lead India in the World Test Championship final against the Black Caps in June.

While the in-your-face approach certainly seems to bring the best out of him, there have always been questions asked about Virat Kohli aggressive on-field nature. The India skipper is pumped up all the time and never lets an opportunity go wasted to intimate the opposition. Be it his body language or the occasional sledges, Kohli has always been keen on donating the proceedings, regardless of the format. Legendary New Zealand all-rounder Richard Hadlee approves of Virat Kohli's aggressive outlook, saying he is a proud man and a passionate cricketer. Hadlee said Kohli is under enormous pressure every time he takes the field but his strong desire to succeed has certainly helped him over the years. Hadlee pointed out that different players find different ways to succeed at the highest level in sport and that he likes seeing players expressing themselves out in the middle.
