Teachers' Day Special: 5 things Virat Kohli has taught us

Don’t wash dirty linen in public

ICC Board Meeting

No two human beings are the same. No two minds think alike.

Sometimes, perspectives differ. Sometimes, points of view differ.

Sometimes, there is conflict between members of the same family/fraternity. This doesn’t mean one is wrong and the other is right. It just means that they view things differently, and prefer taking different routes to reach the same destination. At such a time of conflict, one must always live with dignity and not undermine the other person’s opinion.

During the spat between him and ex-India head coach Anil Kumble, Kohli maintained utmost dignity, respecting the seniority of Kumble and never let out a word against him, even when Anil Kumble publicly stated that his views don’t match with Kohli's. Virat maintained dignity on the issue by stating that what happens inside the sanctity of the dressing room, should stay inside.

It’s a really important lesson to learn from him – respect your seniors and don’t wash dirty linen in public.
