I have surprised myself with Virat-like aggression: Saina

Surprised at her new found aggression, India's No 1 shuttler Saina Nehwal is confident that she would persist with her attacking style of play which enabled her to win Australia Super Series Championship. Just like she had mentioned on her twitter account, Saina attributed her attacking style to Virat Kohli's recent exploits. "In Australia, I was surprised to see myself being more aggressive. I was not doing that for a long time. But here, I was attacking a lot more. I was very, very aggressive and that's what I have learnt. I hope, in future matches also, I retain my aggression and continue attacking," Saina told reporters during a media conference, here today. Citing the example of India's Test captain, Saina said:"All the players, if you see badminton, Carolina (Marin), she got very aggressive game. I really wish to have that aggressiveness, how Virat (Kohli) has got. He is playing really well these days. Every match he is performing so well. He is very aggressive
