It all started back when Sourav Ganguly took the charge of Team India. He injected an aggressive style of cricket in Indian cricket. Later on, the players carried the same from that point. Now, Virat Kohli is a step ahead of the former skipper. He is always ready to take up the challenges and come out with flying colors. Moreover, he is not one of the players, who silently listens to anyone.
