Pakistan's opening batter Imam-ul-Haq praised the fighting spirit of talismanic Indian cricketer Virat Kohli. Imam expressed his admiration for Kohli's attitude of constantly pushing through challenges and never giving up.

Kohli's aggressive nature has been evident, particularly when it comes to playing against Australia. His fiery encounters with Australian players in the past including Mitchell Johnson, Steve Smith, Brad Haddin, and Tim Paine, have left a lasting impression.

In his first tour to Australia, Kohli even showed his middle finger to a section of the crowd, drawing attention and controversy. However, it's this aggressive attitude that has defined his approach to the game.

Imam particularly highlighted how Kohli's tenacity enabled him to engage in verbal exchanges with Australian players during matches played on their home turf. Kohli's aggressive approach, according to Imam, has been a driving force in his success and his ability to lead his team effectively in competitive situations.

"I really like the attitude of Virat Kohli, his attitude to keep on fighting. He is ready to take on all the challenges. He has got that never give up attitude and that allowed him to sledge the Australians in their backyard,"  said Imam-ul-Haq on Kohli's aggression.

Kohli's aggression has often been a topic of discussion, with some seeing it as a key factor in motivating his team to excel. His refusal to adopt a passive approach on the field demonstrates his determination to dominate the opposition.

One of the most remarkable instances of Kohli's aggression was during the 2018 tour of Australia when his fierce attitude played a pivotal role in India's historic Test series victory, making them the first Asian team to achieve this feat on Australian soil.

In essence, Kohli's aggressive demeanor is a double-edged sword, stirring controversy at times but also inspiring his team to greater heights. It is a defining aspect of his cricketing personality that sets him apart as a relentless competitor.
