"I have been a massive Virat Kohli fan over the last 14 years - his stats speak for themselves - but he was so much more than that. It was his aura, swagger, and passion. We know Indian cricket fans, and the game means so much to them," Hussain said on the Sky Sports Cricket podcast

Following Virat Kohli's Test retirement, former England captain Nasser Hussain said that the 36-year-old completely changed the way Team India plays cricket.
Speaking on the Sky Sports Cricket podcast, "We know Indian cricket fans, and the game means so much to them. They want their captain to show them what it means to the team, and no one embodied that passion for cricket in India more than Kohli. He was an unbelievable player. He took India to No. 1 in the world, and they stayed there for about 42 months. He completely changed the way they play cricket. Whoever takes on that mantle has got something to live up to," said Hussain.
