However, it seems that something has changed in recent years.\n\nThe 2018-19 series was close to being the most tense, but the ball-tampering scandal in Cape Town marked a turning point.\n\nIn the World Cup, India&#8217;s captain, Virat Kohli, asked fans to stop booing Steven Smith, showing a change in attitude.\n\nBefore the first Test of 2020-21, the question arises as to whether this new respect between both teams will compromise the intensity of the matches.\n\nKohli, when asked about the best relationships, attributed the change to the increased interaction of the players in the IPL and the maturity of everyone involved.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I think this year has also made people realize that many things might not have been necessary in the past, where you held grudges and had unnecessary tensions between teams and individuals, which is absolutely useless.<\/p><cite>Virat Kohli<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nAustralia has acknowledged the need to improve its behavior, seeking a balance between competitiveness and fair play. Kohli highlighted the importance of the quality of cricket over unnecessary tensions.\n\nKohli also mentioned that the increased interaction of players in the IPL, Australia&#8217;s change of focus, and the current circumstances have influenced this evolution.\n\nThe Indian captain emphasized that, although the intensity and competitiveness will continue, the unnecessary has been filtered out, and there is more respect between the teams.\n\nKohli believes that players are more intelligent and mature, which allows them to make better decisions to maintain the quality of cricket.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fi%2Fcricket%2Fcricinfo%2F1244098_365x205.jpg\" alt=\"Virat Kohli\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Virat Kohli: &#8220;La apreciaci\u00f3n por el rendimiento o la valent\u00eda y el car\u00e1cter de alguien llega al final de los cinco d\u00edas, eso es lo que creo&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nKohli, known for his combative style, is viewed with respect in Australia. When asked if the players feel vilified, Kohli responded that the players do what is necessary for the team at all times.\n\nThe captain emphasized the importance of maintaining the dignity of the sport, but also of competing at the highest level.\n\nKohli expects high-voltage, competitive cricket, but without getting personal. He highlighted the importance of mutual appreciation at the end of the matches.\n\nIn summary, a tough but fair game is expected between India and Australia, maintaining intensity and respect for the sport.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From on-field provocations to past clashes, the rivalry between India and Australia has been legendary.
