Chopra praised the Indian captain's "in your face" attitude.
The Indian team captain, Virat Kohli, has always been a class performer and one to always watch out on the cricket field.
Be it with some glorious strokeplay or with his aggressive celebrations while fielding, he always let the fans and the opposition feel his presence. Even the former Indian batsman, Aakash Chopra, says that he applauds Virat’s attitude on the field and his passion towards the game.
"He is in your face all the time. He is a captain who also knows how to take the crowd along. You want to do that, but nobody has the audacity to do it. Because that is the thing that matters the most," said Aakash Chopra in a video posted on his Youtube channel.

Chopra also said that he is highly impressed with the fitness of the Indian captain and believes that Kohli has taken the fitness standards of the team to greater heights.
"Every generation needs a different captain. The generation he is leading right now and the ones to come in the future, fitness is going to be paramount for them. He took this team to a different level. He set new fitness standards," he said.
After the loss in the Inaugural World Test Championship Final, the Indian Test team had some break to prepare for the upcoming challenge of playing England in a five-match Test series, starting from August 4 at Trent Bridge.
Meanwhile, India’s new-look limited-over squad, under the captaincy of Shikhar Dhawan and the newly appointed coach Rahul Dravid, will face their neighbours Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI and T20I series, starting July 18.
