As majestic as King Kohli: 10 similes that Virat personifies

As fiery as a volcano

Provoking Kohli on the field is inviting trouble for yourself

Perhaps, this is one comparison which needs the least explanation. A man who plays with his heart on his sleeve, Kohli has natural aggressive instincts. In fact, this aggression was often touted by cricket experts as the nemesis for his failures.

However, Kohli bounced back and in grand style. He channeled his aggression to beautifully suit his game. The brashness that led to him losing his wicket in the early days came to be the hunger he developed to score big runs.

Always in the face of the opposition, Kohli is never shy of giving it back, whether it be using his tongue or his bat. His antics on the cricket field which have added spice to famous rivalries thus make for a great spectacle and make him a crowd favorite.

That there is lava boiling within him is evident from his celebrations, which have mellowed down over the time. He doesn't leave a chance to give opposition batsmen send-offs and make his presence felt.
