#3 Controlled temper: Calmer and more mature as captain

If there was one thing that a young Virat Kohli was genuinely poor at, it was controlling his temper. A typical Delhi boy, habitual of showing his anger on his face and expressing it by his actions, Virat was frequently criticized by cricketing gurus for his on-field behavior.

His immaturity was quite notable when he showed the middle finger to the Australian crowd or when he got into an ugly argument with Gautam Gambhir on field in the IPL.

Virat was tagged as a spoiled brat, but now he is a highly matured person

But as he has slowly got the reigns of all three national teams for India, he has developed into a much more cool-headed and mature person. Virat is still one of the most aggressive personalities on the field, but that aggression does not turn into ugly banters.

He is hence garnering more respect from all experts across the world. We hope that he keeps winning both matches and hearts in his career ahead!
