It started off with Kohli’s brash and arrogant celebrations after scoring his hundreds. This created a perception of him being an over the top celebrator and build him the image of an angry young man. He was involved in several other altercations, controversies, he also made unacceptable gestures to the crowd during his maiden tour of Australia and the spiced-up and public affair with his girlfriend Anushka Sharma have brought him in news for all wrong reasons. When, someone has been a part of so many controversies at such a young age, making Kohli the captain can lead either way in a two way street. With team India already at the rock bottom in tests, it has been a free hit for the selectors to hand him over the reins. Kohli has to shed this affinity with being over aggressive and keep composure in place to make a mark as a captain. 2. Lack of patience: Patience is a major key to success in captaincy and whether Kohli possess it, is a big question.

He posses all the cricketing talent requited to take down all kinds of tantrums thrown at him with the cricket ball. But, looking back at his tour of England in 2014, his inability to be patient and leave the balls outside off was the major reason behind his poor run. This has only added to his character of being a player who lacks patience and maturity. 3. Hungry to win; but with a brash demeanor: Everyone knows that Virat is a young man hungry to win each and every game that he plays.

But the rude, thrusting, cocksure nature that he brings to his game can backfire. Kohli can be as aggressive as he wants to be on the cricket field, but he needs to create a sense of calmness about him at least off it to become a captain who the nation can depend upon. 4. Tackling the media: Virat has to learn to handle tricky questions from the media with intelligence.(©Getty Images) Tackling the media in a proper and acceptable way is an important part of today’s cricket to keep the team in right spirit and to create a sense of belief among the billions of people supporting you. Virat has to learn to handle tricky questions from the media with intelligence. Though the stand he may take on various issues can differ from the media, but it is important that his views are not conflictive and change constructively and not impulsively. He should look up to his senior pro MS Dhoni to learn how to handle the media without any pressure.
