Team India are ready to take on England in the third Test in Ahmedabad which will be a day-night affair as well. Prior to that, former India cricketer and selector Sarandeep Singh opened up about the current captain Virat Kohli.
He said that Kohli is an extremely down to earth person off the field and his aggression only comes on the field. His comments came as many times Virat Kohli's aggression has become a topic of debate. Meanwhile, Sarandeep has also given the example of how Kohli behave politely while sitting in the selection meetings.
"Whenever Virat comes, team meetings used to go on for 1, 1.5 hours. Virat is a good listener. I don't know what people think about him," Sarandeep Singh said to Sportskeeda.
"If you see him in the matches, he's always charged up while batting and fielding. So it seems like he's always hot and arrogant, and doesn't listen to anyone. But no, he's as down-to-earth as he seems aggressive on the field. In selection meetings, he was so polite. He always used to listen to everyone and then finally come to a decision," he further added.
Sarandeep Singh further recalled how in Kohli's house he and his wife Anushka Sharma do everything to make the guests feel at home.
"At his home, there are no servants. He and his wife will serve food to everyone. What else do you want? Virat always sits with you, chats with you, and goes out for dinner with you. All the other players have so much respect for him. He's very down-to-earth and strong-willed," he again shared.
"On the field, he needs to be that way because he's the captain. He's the one who'll handle the pressure on the ground and make decisions in the heat of the moment," he concluded.
