Former Australian captain Steve Waugh has recently said that Kohli's aggressive approach was "a little over the top".
Ravi Shastri has slammed the experts and former cricketers criticising Virat Kohli's aggressive attitude. The Indian cricket team coach asked those (not mentioning any name) criticising Kohli's aggression side to "mind their own business".
Former Australian captain Steve Waugh has recently said that Kohli's aggressive approach was "a little over the top" during India's South Africa tour.
Waugh has said, "I have seen him (Virat Kohli) in South Africa and I feel that he was little over the top. But that's a learning thing for a captain. "As a captain, he (Kohli) is still developing and needs some time to pull in his excitement factor and emotions but that's the way he plays."
However Ravi Shahstri see no problem with Virat's way.
"My only advice to them is to mind their own business. I will keep it very simple. Whoever is saying that, mind your own business. Let us get on with our job," Shastri said in an interview with Anandabazar Patrika.
"I think he is absolutely fine. If there was a problem, the umpires are there. The match-referee is there to sort it out. What are they there for? He is hardly been called by the match-referee for going over the top in his career. So where is the problem?" Shastri asked.
Shastri also compared Virat Kohli to Pakistan's World Cup winning captain Imran Khan.
"It's still early days for Virat. He is still very very young. But he is already there among the very best. He wants to lead by example. He reminds me a lot of Imran. He is still very young but he has got lot of qualities that Imran had when it came to leading a side. Which is great," Shastri said.
Kohli, ranked No. 1 batsman in one-day internationals, was in imperious form against the Proteas becoming the first batsman ever to score 500 or more runs in a bilateral ODI series.
