“Virat is very competitive by nature and what stands out is that he wants to be the best and always wants to win. He has that attitude, the guy always wants to win. He (Virat) is not an emotional guy actually,” De Kock said.
When you play against him, he seems very emotional but now that you have played with him, Virat being Virat (is) just passionate about what he does,” he added.
The Indian captain has impressed one and all with his impressive performance and has also produced impressive results as a captain. Earlier, his fellow RCB batsman AB De Villiers praised Kohli for being a fantastic captain.
“The true judge of a good captain is when you don’t perform well and still do a good job while leading a side. He has come through with flying colours when it comes to that. He has been a fantastic captain for us,” De Villiers said.
De Villiers said Kohli is putting a lot of effort and energy to keep the side in good footing in the training sessions and also hopes that he scores a lot many runs in the remainder of the IPL encounters.
The South African legend said that pressure doesn’t mount on him when other batsman fail to create an impact.
“It is normal to feel pressure because we are international players. However, I don’t feel extra pressure, I don’t think Virat feels it either. We have a team of match-winners and it is up to us to share the load.”
