However, there seems to be a change in the air. The teams have shown greater maturity and mutual respect, especially after the ball-tampering incident in Cape Town.\n\nIndia captain Virat Kohli has asked fans to stop booing players like Steven Smith, showing a new level of sportsmanship.\n\nBefore the start of the 2020-21 test series, the question arises as to whether this newfound respect will compromise the intensity of the matches.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Change of Attitude<\/h2>\n\n\nKohli attributes the improved relations to several factors. One of them is the amount of time players from both teams spend together in the IPL, which has fostered greater mutual understanding.\n\nIt also highlights the maturity of the players and the understanding that there are unnecessary things in the past, such as grudges and tensions between teams and individuals.\n\nKohli emphasizes that, although the intensity and competitiveness on the field will be maintained, unnecessary attitudes are expected to be filtered out.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;I think this year has also made people realize that a lot of things might not have been necessary in the past, where you hold grudges and have unnecessary tensions between teams and individuals, which is absolutely useless&#8221;.<\/p><cite>Virat Kohli<\/cite>\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 desempe\u00f1o de alguien o su coraje y car\u00e1cter llega al final de cinco d\u00edas, eso es lo que creo&#8221; (India Today Group\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nKohli acknowledges that Australia has changed its approach and that there is now greater respect between the teams. However, this does not mean that the competition will decrease.\n\nThe Indian captain foresees greater intelligence and better decisions from everyone, ensuring that the quality of cricket is maintained.\n\nIn summary, the rivalry between India and Australia has evolved. While intensity and competitiveness remain key elements, a more respectful and less personal environment is expected on the field.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From on-field provocations to heated clashes, the rivalry between India and Australia has been legendary.
