People are talking about the extremely happy event of Indian captain Virat Kohli helping his England counterpart Joe Root in stretching his leg after a bout of cramps on the first day of the first Test. People say while this is expected in a gentleman's game, it was a new character trait displayed by the aggressive Virat Kohli who never gives an inch neither expects the opposition to give him any. People are wondering whether the birth of his daughter has mellowed the Indian captain.
People jokingly say that if the same had happened to the captain of an Australian team, Virat would have been the last person to help. People say that the level of fierceness and competition in any Indo-Australian series is totally different. They say that while India is competitive at all times, it raises its game several notches against Australia and such sportsmanship will not be seen against them. People say it is mainly because the Australians too play hard ball.
People are impressed that Virat rushed to help Root. They say that aggressiveness is a good quality to bulldoze the opposition but in the end such humanitarian gestures make one a complete man. Root thanked Kohli in the press meet at the end of the day's play. People say Kohli's esteem has increased manifold in the eyes of the cricketing world and his millions of fans in India and abroad after he helped Root. People say they wait expectantly to increasingly see this new and softer side of the Indian captain.
