AB De Villiers' Question
India Star Batsman - Virat Kohli had said in 2017 that he did not want to be friends with Australian Cricket players. So, ABD asked this question in pointing the same incident
Kohli replied that things had changed due to the Indian Premier League, since the players started sharing the dressing room more often.
He said "The IPL has changed quite a few things. The cricket is still competitive but the verbals and the sledging is not nasty anymore. It has become a game of mutual respect and admiration. Still, you can say that they have the same hunger"
Further added "The stuff which was too intense and things that created tension between the teams has significantly gone down, that's what I have experienced this year but not the competitiveness"
This conversation between two RCB players took place on a YouTube channel show "The 360 Show".
