Virat Kohli coming back to form is probably the best thing that has happened to Indian cricket in the recent past.
King Kohli surely has a special connection with Australia. He has been at his best on Australian soil, especially at the Adelaide Oval.
In a recent video shared by BCCI, Kohli spoke about the special connection with Australia and revealed that he feels at home when he’s in the country as he said:
“I don’t know what it is with Australia. Whenever I come here, it doesn’t feel alien anymore. I get a very comfortable feeling whenever I’m here. One thing I’ve noticed here is, if you perform here, you get all the respect and appreciation from not just our fans, but also the Australians. When I go out anywhere, the locals approach me and talk to me in such a manner that I feel very happy. I never feel out of place in Australia. It feels like home here.”
After the game against Bangladesh, Kohli was named the Player of the Match for his match-winning knock. While speaking of it, he said:
“As soon as I knew the World Cup was in Australia, I was grinning from ear to ear. I knew good cricketing shots would be the key. I knew the kind of experience and game awareness of having played in Australia will come in handy for the team. I absolutely love playing on this ground. Right from the nets at the back, as soon as I enter, it makes me feel at home. That knock at the MCG (vs Pakistan) was meant to be, but when I come here, it’s like I’m meant to come to Adelaide and enjoy my batting.”
