Virat Kohli back as captain? Star batter at his animated best, sets fields at MCG

India Today  

Virat Kohli was at his animated best on the morning of Day 4 during the Boxing Day Test against Australia. A live wire on the field at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, he was constantly in captain Rohit Sharma's ear, bringing a palpable energy to the Indian side. In addition to his constant chatter aimed at the two Australian openers, Kohli was seen actively setting the field while stationed in the slip cordon, right next to captain Rohit Sharma. Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar drew parallels between Kohli's on-field demeanour and the dynamic between Javed Miandad and Imran Khan during their playing days, where Miandad was often seen in his captain's ear. It was refreshing to see Kohli's body language as the former skipper, India's most successful Test captain, was helping out Rohit Sharma, who has been under pressure and looked a bit below-par with his tactics.
