Virat Kohli’s aggressive captaincy

Virat Kohli has been aggressive in his captaincy in every Test, but with his bowlers doing well in this Test, his captaincy was seen as more aggressive. He always had slip fielders in place and even gave Ashwin the cushion of leg slip, short leg and even silly point.

The aggressiveness in his captaincy also came forth when Stuart Broad verbally attacked Rishabh Pant after dismissing him. Broad was paid back in kind by the Indian fielders and Kohli was at the front taking jibes at Broad for his ill-advised verbal diarrhea.

Virat Kohli’s field placing was on point and his bowlers bowled to a plan and the result was a 203 runs win over England.
