Kohli will be returning home after the first Test against Australia for the birth of his first child.

The Indian captain acknowledged the presence of the crowd during the limited over matches against Australia.

He admitted that the company of fans in the stands brings the motivation factor.

Kohli stated at the post-match presentation:

“We are finding ways to come back and give the opposition a scare and the series win is a little asterisk for us to finish the 2020 season on a high.

“I feel the crowd was a factor as well; it’s always giving you a dimension of motivation.

“Our crowd pulls us through sometimes, and Australia’s too, and we as players feed off the crowd’s energy.”

The Indian leader also spoke about the upcoming 4-match Test series, starting from December 17 in Adelaide.

Kohli opined that the current Indian side is stronger as compared to the previous unit in the 2018-19 tour.

Kohli observed that in order to get the better of Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India needs to bring the same competitive attitude in the longest format as they had shown in the white-ball fixtures.

He added: “We need to take the same competitive attitude into the Tests, and having played here a few times; we can score runs as well.

“Once it’s time to capitalise and score, we need to do that session by session.

“I’m sure the current side is stronger than last time (Test matches), and I’ll see if I can play the tour match.”
