The early Virat Kohli era can best be described in two words: aggression and passion. Additionally, there's one thing any cricketer would steer clear of, and that was poking Kohli the wrong way. Everyone knew you don't wake the lion up; however, Finn Allen and Jonathan Trott learned it the hard-way.

In 2011, during the England Tour of India's second ODI, Alastair Cook's England managed to score 237 runs after being bowled out in 48 overs.

During India's innings, Finn and Trott taunted Kohli with an unwanted curse word; however, Kohli held his nerve and smashed a roaring boundary on the next ball. The camera then panned on the faces of Trott and Finn, both of whom looked shocked and bleak.

Moreover, India made things look more effortless as the won the game with eight wickets to spare due to Kohli's unbeaten 114 run knock along with Gautam Gambhir's 84 not out.

In interesting turn of events, Gambhir and Kohli have united again - this time as Indian head coach and player. Their maiden assignment together is the India-Sri Lanka ODIs, starting on Friday.
