Former England captain Nasser Hussain has written a column for Daily Mail where he opined that an aggressive Virat Kohli was just what the doctor ordered for a team like India which has kowtowed its colonial masters.
“Virat Kohli is the right man at the right time to lead this formidable India side. His players, in particular the bowlers, want an aggressive captain. They want Kohli stirring things up, as he did so effectively in that brilliant second Test at Lord’s,” he wrote.
“Jasprit Bumrah has always seemed, to me a quiet and reserved character off the field, but look at the way he attacked and went after Jimmy Anderson on that third evening.”
He said he spoke to former India coach Duncan Fletcher who attested the fact that Kohli is someone who wants to win at all costs. He mentioned how fans must see the Indian captain play football; he represents the new India which won’t be pushed around.
