Virat is like beast on field, says Ravi Shastri

Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri has termed Virat Kohli a beast on the field but said the former skipper is totally opposite when he is not playing the game. Kohli had stepped down as the Test skipper after India suffered a Test series loss against South Africa. Shastri said the challenge for Kohli is now to maintain the same energy when he is playing as a player and not as the captain of Team India.

Virat is like a beast on the field. He is a terrier. Once he enters the ground, he wants to compete and is not worried about anybody. He is in-your-face and passionate. Off the field, he is totally opposite, Shastri told Shoaib Akhtar on the former Pakistan pacer’s YouTube channel. Absolutely calm, chilled… there is no issue with him. He is 33. He has been contributing as a captain. The challenge comes when you are not captain after a span of time.
