MELBOURNE: Former Australia captain Mark Taylor has described Indian captain Virat Rukh Kohli as a “very powerful man”. Kohli has been hailed as an aggressive cricketer and a man of national consciousness. Over the years, Kohli has built up his reputation by playing a number of match-winning innings. Taylor has been instrumental in building an effective personality with respect. Australian mixed opinion According to Australian Test team captain Tim Penn, the Australians have a “polarizing” view of Kohli. Kohli is hated by the Australians as a rival but prefers to see his batting as a fan. Penn had this to say before the India-Australia four-Test series, which is set to begin on December 16. Notably, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy always has many exciting moments in mind. It is only natural that the Australians would have such a different opinion on Kohli’s aggressive approach and behavior inside the field with effective batting. He is also hopeful that the pace bowlers will put India in trouble in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India.
