The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli feels there hasn’t been a more special series win than one in Australia recently despite the fact that he had to return home after the first Test to witness the birth of his baby. Virat was also asked if he managed to change the diapers correctly while cheering on the team and he asserted that it wasn’t that tough for him as he wanted to learn it. However, he did add that he hasn’t mastered the art yet but is satisfied with his learnings so far.
In a video posted on BCCI.tv, Virat Kohli said, “Luckily as a cricketer over the years I have become someone who adapts well to the situations and Ravi bhai (coach Ravi Shastri) would know that using the crease and standing in and out all that kind of stuff. So, for me to understand how to change diapers and learning all those things wasn’t that tough because I was keen to learn. I am very comfortable with everything that I have learned so far.”

Asked about where he ranked the recent series triumph in Australia, the Indian skipper was of the opinion that it’s right on top especially because after the number of injuries and lack of experience in the squad the “odds were stacked up against us” as compared to hosts Australia.
Kohli explained, “I think if you put things in perspective in terms of the experience in the squad and how much cricket our boys had played against the opposition who had played way more… the odds were stacked up against us after Adelaide. The kind of character and belief shown by the whole squad… I don’t think any victory has been more special than this.”
When asked if he felt some anxiety while watching the team play from afar, Kohli acknowledged that he was “a bit anxious” in the beginning but relaxed a little especially after the win India registered in the second Test in Melbourne.

Elaborating the same, Virat said, “I will be very honest, before the Melbourne Test, I was a bit anxious but then the way the whole team played in Melbourne. I was cheering every ball… jumping up from the couch every now and then. Probably not as loud as I am on the field but still the cheers were loud enough for the staff to be heard everywhere in the house.”
