Follow UsS Sreesanth was one of the most aggressive Indian cricketers to have played the game. His aggression was clearly visible in his wicket celebration and the one that stands out is his wild celebration after depositing the ball into the stands for a six against South Africa’s Andre Nel during a Test match.
There are some players who feed off their in-built aggressive nature and Sreesant was one of them. However, the Kerala pacer thinks that former India captain and modern-day great, Virat Kohli.
Speaking on a podcast with sports commentator Padamjit Shehrawat, Sreesanth said that he would change ‘nothing’ about Kohli’s aggressive nature.
“What others call aggression, I call it passion. Is Virat Kohli aggressive? No. I think he is obsessed. Virat's aggression, people say, is a lot. I would say if he reduces that aggression, he won't be the same player,” Indian Express quoted the 42-year-old as saying.
Both Sreesanth and Kohli were part of India’s ODI World Cup-winning squad in 2011. Sreesanth even featured in the T20 World Cup-winning squad of India in 2007, while Kohli won his maiden T20 World Cup in 2024.
