Saina Nehwal wants Virat Kohli's aggression

Rio-bound Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal, who just clinched the Australian Open Super Series title in Sydney, has said she wants to be aggressive like India Test skipper Virat Kohli.

The 26-year-old from Hyderabad defeated Sun Yu of China in the finals yesterday to notch up her first title of the season ahead of the Rio Olympics.

Accolades started pouring in for the Indian star with Bollywood stalwarts such as Amitabh Bachchan and sports personalities like Kohli congratulating her for her feat.
