While comparing Vivian Richards and Virat Kohli, Laxman Sivaramakrishnan said:

Kohli’s attacking attitude is something that he himself enjoys and celebrates. You should show your emotions. You shouldn’t be like a machine on the ground. You should have an attitude like Sir Vivian Richards, who would intimidate bowlers with his eyes.
