Matthew Hayden asked Virat Kohli to take a leaf out of Sachin Tendulkar's book and not go fishing outside the off-stump in the Boxing Day Test.

Virat Kohli is poised to surpass Sachin Tendulkar as India's highest Test run-scorer at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Kohli needs 133 runs to eclipse Tendulkar's 449-run record during the upcoming Boxing Day Test.

Hayden recollected Tendulkar's marvelous innings at Sydney in 2004, where he curbed his tendency to flash outside the off stump, and lauded the legendary batter for his determination. The Aussie opined Kohli has the personality to mimic such a performance.
