World Cup-winner and the chief of BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee, Madan Lal has heaped praise on Virat Kohli for changing the culture of the Indian cricket team as the former speedster said that no other captain has backed pacers like the current captain of the Men in Blue.&nbsp;

Lal, while speaking on show Pit Stop, said Sunil Gavaskar was the one who brought the culture of encouraging pace bowlers but the way Kohli has taken the charge in terms of building a world-class pace attack has been ‘unbelievable’

The former pacer, who took the wicket of Sir Vivian Richards in the 1983 World Cup final, further said that Kohli’s Team India is going to win more matches in the future because of the sheer depth in the pace department.&nbsp;

"The way Virat Kohli encouraged the pacers, no other captain has done it. I can bet on this. When you have a good pace attack. Going back 15-20 years, India did not win these many matches. Now you're winning it because of the pace attack," Madan Lal said.

"Kohli knows that if his pace attack is good, he has more chances of helping the team win.

"I think this culture of encouraging pace bowlers was started by Sunil Gavaskar. The way Virat Kohli is doing it is unbelievable. He is on the right track with the pacers. You've got 4 or 5 bowlers who are going to win us a lot of matches in the near future."

Lal further said that people shouldn’t criticise Kohli’s aggression as Team India needed an attacking approach to turn the tables. He added that teams like Australia and England are worried about India but that was not the case in the past.

"I like his aggression. A lot of people criticise him but I don't want to. We needed this. We used to say that Indians were not that aggressive. Now a player, who is our captain, has come with aggression, he should be appreciated.

"Sometimes, it goes over the line. But that's fine because it's a game. He wants to win every time.

"When we go to Australia, they are worried about India. When we go to England, they are worried," Lal said.

Virat Kohli should not be criticised for his aggression: CAC chief Madan Lal

There has been a lot of talks surrounding Indian skipper Virat Kohli's aggressive behaviour on the field. While many fans and experts have backed Kohli to continue with his pumped up style of play, there are others who think the Indian skipper should mellow down his behaviour when he takes the field for Team India.&nbsp;

Former Indian cricketer and currently a member of Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) – Madan Lal – has lashed out on Kohli's critics by saying that earlier people used to say Indians are not aggressive and now when the players have started to be aggressive on the field, they just can't ask it to be stopped.&nbsp;

Lal further said that he enjoys Kohli's aggression while adding Team India needs a captain like him to lead from the front.&nbsp;

“First, everyone wanted a very aggressive captain and now you want Kohli to stop his aggressive streak. I love the way he is on the field. Earlier, people used to say that Indians are not aggressive; now that we’ve become aggressive people question that and ask why we are so aggressive. I enjoy Kohli’s aggression; we need a captain like him,” Lal was quoted as saying by a leading daily.&nbsp;

The former Indian speedster, on Kohli's poor show in New Zealand, said that it was just a loss of form and confidence while adding he is still the world's best player and sometimes technical flaws come in.&nbsp;

“He was out of form. You can say it was a loss of confidence. That (series against New Zealand) doesn’t take anything away from him. He is still the world’s best player. At times, technical flaws come in and you then try harder and harder but still you don’t come out of it. It happens to the best of players,” he stated.
