The recently concluded test series between India and Australia is widely being considered as one of the best test series that we have had in years. (Now Kohli defends his post match comments on the Aus players)

But while we rave about the quality of cricket in the series we also realize that the over the top aggressive behavior from both teams did little to help the spirit of cricket.

Virat Kohli found himself at the center of the verbal barrage as he gave back as much as he got. But things may have gone too far when he claimed that the Aus players are no longer his friends in the post match conference after the fourth test match.

“No, it has changed,” Kohli told a post-match media conference when asked if he stood by his affirmation of friendly rivalry made earlier in the series.

“I thought that was the case, but it has changed for sure.As I said, in the heat of the battle you want to be competitive but I’ve been proven wrong.”

“The thing I said before the first Test, that has certainly changed and you won’t hear me say that ever again.” (Now Kohli defends his post match comments on the Aus players)

But Kohli has now used Twitter to express his disappointment at how his comments have been blown way out of proportion.
