“Virat is very aggressive and when you see him on the field, you automatically get energetic. He leads from the front, be it with his batting or on the field. When you see him giving his 110 per cent, you automatically give your 100 per cent”. In Rohit’s case, he remains very calm and composed and shows you that he trusts you.
