Rohit Sharma replaced Virat Kohli as the white ball captain some time ago but it is still one of the most important talks of the town. Talking in favor of Virat Kohli, Harbhajan Singh said that Kohli's aggressive temper helped the Indian team to grow and win matches away from home. Harbhajan also said that this attitude of Kohli helped Virat to score more runs as well.

Harbhajan Singh's thoughts on Virat Kohli:
Supporting Kohli, Harbhajan said on India TV, "Virat's temperament totally suits the Indian setup. We need players like this to take the team forward and Virat Kohli did that. Earlier, when team would go to Australia, we would think about how to save the Test series. Under Virat's captaincy, there has been a change where we think about how do we go and win the Test series in Australia."
He further added, "I remember in one of those series, where he had scored a lot of runs, although India had lost the Test series. India had to chase some 400 runs in that match and Kohli had scored a big century. So, when he returned to the pavilion I told him that the match could have ended in a draw, but he replied that 'there is no importance of a drawn Test, either you win or you lose and the day we learn to fight, we will learn to win and someday we will."

Harbhajan also stated that Kohli's approach towards the sport is different, unlike Mahendra Singh Dhoni. And his approach helped him to score and reach tons of batting milestones. Also, he wished Kohli and his team good luck for the ongoing Indian tour of South Africa.
He said, "And that is the change you have noticed in this Indian side. They went to Australia and beat them twice, they played well in England and I hope they beat South Africa in this series, although this South African side isn't that great. So, Kohli has perfectly played his role as a leader. And his aggressive approach has made Virat Kohli the player he is today. If Virat Kohli was soft like MS Dhoni, I don't think he would have scored so many runs."
