India's star batsman Virat Kohli may be a combative warrior with a sharp tongue and a feisty attitude, but when the cameras are off he turns into a clown in the Indian dressing room.
Indian insiders have revealed that the team was much more relaxed with Kohli in charge in Adelaide than it has ever been under Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is famous for his serious demeanour.
Kohli enjoys nothing more than winding up his teammates. An Indian source said that the batsman loves doing impersonations of his teammates, and he especially loves taking off Ishant Sharma, News.com.au reported.
The insider said that Sharma has a very high-pitched voice for a big man and Kohli does it beautifully, adding that the batsman also mimics everyone else in the side with their batting techniques and the way they walk and run, admitting that it is a much more relaxed camp when he is in charge.
