In India where cricket is a religion and cricketers are worshipped as gods, almost every Indian dreams of becoming a cricketer at some stage of higher life or the other. While many are drawn to the love of the game, there are a number who are drawn by the adulation and following that cricketers enjoy from the general public. However, it takes a lot to be a star cricketer and we think there is a lot aspiring cricketers can learn from Kohli.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is the list of five qualities that makes Kohli so admirable:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Handling Pressure:<\/strong> The ability of Virat Kohli to handle pressure is one of the main attitudes associated with him that makes him stand tall in front of others. There are many instances where he has handled pressure so effectively and has won the game for the nation. One such instance was in the must-win match against Sri Lanka in the Commonwealth Bank Tri-series involving Australia as well. India had to chase 320 runs in less than 38 overs and Virat scored an unbelievable century to take India across the line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fitness:<\/strong> Many don&rsquo;t know that he is a fitness freak and puts in a humongous effort to keep himself fit. The fact that he is fit allows him to concentrate more on his game, leaving the worries about getting injured aside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Liveliness On The Field (Aggression):<\/strong> Unlike Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat is a person who doesn&rsquo;t hide his emotions inside but expresses them then and there and being lively in the field spreads the positive vibes to the entire team, which is clearly evident in team India&rsquo;s successful run right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maturity:<\/strong> Virat of past was completely different from the person he is right now. He has matured and evolved as a player and also as a person. Earlier, he used to be the one who got into verbal spat with almost every team he played and by realising the negative impact of that on his batting, he has become more subtle in his approach which is a reason for his success. Further, captaincy has evolved him as a player and person.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ability To Perform Overseas:<\/strong> He is one person who can perform anywhere on this planet irrespective of the opposition. This is a thing which not many cricketers can associate with themselves. He has the abilities of tackling the opposition with five seam bowlers on a seaming wicket and also has the game to survive in a square turner against top spinners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-26628\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/virat-kohli-indian-cricketer.jpg\" alt=\"virat kohli indian cricketer\" width=\"260\" height=\"160\" style=\"margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; float: left;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/virat-kohli-indian-cricketer.jpg 260w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/virat-kohli-indian-cricketer-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/>Experts and fans agree in equal measure that there is something unique in Virat Kohli that makes him one of the best batsmen of his time.
