Virat has been extremely vocal behind the wickets

Whether on the field or in interviews, if there is one thing that has been consistent over the course of the series, it has been an overdose of aggression. In this aspect as well, the captain has led the team from the front. The only problem is that the aggression has been more in words and less in deeds.

Aggression is not only about what you speak or in the way you give it back to the opposition. It is more in the intent you show.

It is not only about hitting boundaries and smashing the ball in Pandya style. It is also about defending positively and taking quick singles to move the game forward. It is not only about bowling bouncers and intimidating the opposition with pace. It is also about bowling tight line and lengths and making it virtually impossible for the batsmen to score.
