From that moment on, a change in the behavior of both teams was observed.\n\nIndia captain Virat Kohli has played a key role in this transformation. He himself asked Indian fans to stop booing Steven Smith, thus demonstrating recognition of the Australian player’s return after his suspension.\n\nOn the eve of the first Test in Adelaide, Kohli explained that the best relationships are due to the fact that many players from both teams share a dressing room in the IPL, which allows them to get to know each other better. In addition, the maturity and experience of the current players also influence.\n\n

This year has made people realize that many things might not have been necessary in the past, where you hold grudges and have unnecessary tension between teams and individuals, which is absolutely useless.<\/p>Virat Kohli<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe Australian selection has acknowledged its mistakes regarding its behavior and has sought a balance between competitiveness and fair play.\n\nKohli points out that, although the intensity and competitiveness remain, unnecessary attitude has been filtered out. Respect between teams is greater, and he hopes that cricket will continue to be competitive.\n\nThe Indian captain emphasizes that the quality of cricket should not be compromised. While verbal sparring and tension are inevitable, things are no longer expected to get personal. Players are learning to make smarter decisions and prioritize the quality of the game.\n\nKohli, respected in Australia for his character, states that players do what is necessary for their team, maintaining aggression on the field. He acknowledges that at the highest level, the quality of cricket must prevail.\n\n
