Kiwi pacer Tim Southee defended Virat Kohli’s outburst during the recently-concluded second Test in Christchurch, saying the Indian captain is a “very passionate guy” who tries to “bring out the best in himself”. Kohli allegedly swore at Kane Williamson during animated celebrations after the New Zealand skipper’s dismissal on day two of the second Test. India lost the game by seven wickets to go down 0-2 in the series.
