Rahane, Kohli different as captains: Steve Smith

NEW DELHI, Mar 30:  Two days after the hard-fought Test series between India and Australia ended, Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) newly-appointed skipper Steve Smith today pointed out the differences between Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane as captains. Speaking to mediapersons here, Smith, who was accompanied by his RPS teammate Rahane, said, “Ajinkya and Virat are two different people. While Rahane is calm and collected, Kohli shows lots of emotions and is aggressive.” When the Australian skipper was queried on Kohli’s friendship comment, which he had made after the end of the four-match series, Smith said his focus is now on the upcoming IPL as the Test series is over.  “The series is done and dusted. They (India) outplayed us. I  have moved on from the series and now will be concentrating only on the IPL,” he said. Notably, after the Dharamsala decider, Kohli had said that he is no longer friends with the Australian players, however, he later clarified that his statement was blown out of proportion and he was referring to a few of players not the whole Kangaroo team.
