His predecessor MS Dhoni was more calmer when it came to leadership and in general as well. With Kohli, there is more fire and he is animated all the time. He might have taken over from Dhoni, but his captaincy has more resemblance to Sourav Ganguly.

Former Indian captain Ganguly was someone who minced no words on the field and was very aggressive in his approach. There is a image of Dada in the maverick that is Kohli. Full of appetite and fire in the belly - current Indian skipper has modeled his leadership on the Indian legend.

Ganguly did what no other captain could do before him. He went overseas and won test matches. Not once or twice, but many times. He showed that the Indian team was more than just a home track bully.

While the 'Prince of Kolkata' showed the way, Kohli is now taking Ganguly's offensive tactics to a notch higher.

Virat Kohli is India¡¯s most successful Test captain. He did what no other Test captain could do before him. He defeated Australia in their own backyard in a four-match Test series by 2-1 in 2018-19.

Virat has always said that he believes in winning a test match, and not settling for a draw. He loves to have a full pace attack. Under his captaincy, India has been able to make a match-winning pace attack with Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umesh Yadav.
