5 good qualities that we can learn from cricketers

#2 Channeling aggression - Virat Kohli

Youth icon and star of Indian cricket, Virat Kohli is aggression personified. Very few bowlers in world cricket can resist Virat's fire and brimstone. Aggression is a double-edged sword, if not channeled correctly can go wrong.

In his early days, Virat too had this issue of demonstrating his aggression at the wrong place and time. One such instance was him showing the middle finger to the spectators at the Sydney Cricket Ground in a Test match between India and Australia (January 2012).

But over the years, it has been correctly channelized - now the Indian skipper prepares aggressively, bats aggressively, runs aggressively between the wickets and thinks aggressively as a captain. His personal milestones and India's success prove how this has worked wonders. This is what former Australian captain Michael Clarke said in a press conference about Kohli:

“Virat’s aggression is one of his greatest strengths, that’s the way he likes to play and that’s how he has had success, and that is the way he will continue to play”.
