A competitor on the field, and a personal and silent person off the field, Virat Kohli's on-field aggression and intent have been interpreted by many as arrogance and ignorance at times. 

However, players close to Kohli see a different side to the champion batter, as revealed by Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik. Karthik, who plays alongside Kohli in the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), called Kohli's consistency and mastery over the game unmatched, despite remaining on top of the game in all three formats.  

Speaking on the RCB podcast, Karthik further stated that Kohli is quite a caring and emotional person in real life. 

Here's what DK said

“I have a nice equation with Kohli, I think I really like him as a person. The way he’s able to handle the situation right now, a lot of credit to him for that, and he still has a smile on his face…I give him a lot of respect. 

The love and affection he’s getting from the world, he deserves it, and it is good to see him in good spirits. You know, he is a very, very emotional, caring, and reactive person,"

Both Kohli and Karthik will be seen in action in IPL 2023, which begins on March 31.
