Josh Hazlewood felt that getting into a banter on the field brought the best out of Virat Kohli and that is something the Australians will look to avoid when India tour Australia towards the end of 2020.
India became the first Asian side to win a Test series Down Under in 2018-2019 but Australia were without the likes of Steve Smith and David Warner as they were serving their bans after the Sandpapergate episode. However, this time around they will be well prepared and it promises to be a cracker of a contest.
Virat Kohli had a very disappointing tour of New Zealand and Australia would like to take inspiration from the way New Zealand avoided any banter with Kohli and would hope for a similar slump in his form.
Australian batsman David Warner also spoke about how important it was to avoid any kind of unnecessary interaction with Virat Kohli as he felt that they were similar players and that both of them would strike their best form if someone instigates them.
