Leading batsman of the Indian cricket team KL Rahul talks about Virat Kohli's anger.
Rahul made his debut for the Indian cricket team in 2014. He has so far played in 43 Tests, 42 ODIs and 56 T20I matches. In a recent interview on private television, Rahul shared some interesting details about former Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli has always been known for his aggressive reactions. He has the strength to turn his anger on the cricket field into an inspiration to move towards victory. Speaking on the occasion, Rahul said, "When I was growing up, I never wanted to be too calm. I think Virat also has said this. His best friend is his anger. You learn how to use that anger and channelize it into proper things. There is a fire in everybody. I think you can't play a sport like cricket or anything in life if don't have a fire inside you," Rahul said.
Rahul shared how he got the captaincy in the second match of the Test series against South Africa. "When I got the opportunity to captain the country in Johannesburg in a Test match, it happened so suddenly. Virat told me in the bus on the morning of the game that 'I may not play this game because I have a stiff back'. Till I was in the bus and till I reached the ground for warmups, I was like 'no, Virat can't miss a game because of a small injury'," Rahul said.
"After the warmups is when the coach told me that he is not looking good and that I need to go wear the blazer and go for the toss. I didn't have a blazer so I had to borrow Virat's. When I was walking down the steps, I was like 'this looks good on me'. I was always confident and happy," he added.
