The fiery Indian pacer, Mohammed Shami spoke at length regarding the two different captaincy styles of the distinctive mannerisms of two of India’s finest batsmen in recent times, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. While Virat has always been known for being as animated as anybody can be on the park, Rohit on the other hand is a lot calmer on the field.

Talking about Kohli, Shami shared an interesting joke about the India captain during a chat on India TV, Mohammed Shami said, “Fast bowlers are very aggressive, both old and new. But the one player who could probably emulate their aggression is our own captain! Sometimes, when a picture of Virat’s celebration of a wicket goes viral on social media, I funnily ask him, “Was it my wicket or yours?”

He further elaborated, “He celebrates more than the bowlers! Sometimes he points out that you don’t look too happy with the wicket, so I simply tell him, “You did all the celebration for me! But it is important to have fun on the field.” Virat shows aggression, obviously, but as a unit, he has led the team brilliantly so far. In addition, he is a very aggressive batsman too.”

Speaking about the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Shami described him as a very “different character” to Kohli.

Mohammed Shami explained, “Rohit is a different character. He is a cool person, except when he comes to bat! But he is a very positive person. Even as a bowler, when I go to him for advice, he always gives positive answers. Rohit always pushes the bowlers to do what their mind tells them to, irrespective of how the batsman is playing or his strong points. I think that is very important for the confidence of a fast bowler.”
