Despite most of the world has been fighting against the global pandemic novel coronavirus, resumption of cricket which is around the corner has given fresh air to breath as the West Indies have reached England on June 9, two weeks before their Test series. However, other teams and their fans have to wait now. The pandemic has brought the entire world into a standstill where all the sporting events earlier has either been cancelled or postponed.

This forced break has left everyone nothing but stay at home. Even the cricketers used to interact with their fans through social media. Keeping with that trend, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has also opened up about his relationship with Indian captain Virat Kohli on Star Sports' Cricket Connected.

Williamson revealed how his friendship with Virat Kohli has developed in the last few years “Yes, we are fortunate to play against each other. It has been great to meet at a young age and follow his progress as well as his journey.”

The Kiwi captain further added, “It’s been interesting, we’ve had to play against each other for a long period of time. But actually, probably over the last few years, we just shared our views on the game, some honest thoughts and found some common grounds and despite perhaps playing the game little bit differently in terms of physically and may be our on-field characters I suppose.”

Both Kohli and Kane are yet to meet soon, either in the Indian Premier League with their respective franchisees or at the ICC T20 World Cup which is scheduled to take place in Australia later this year, depending on the decision from the ICC. Notably, India registered the win in the T20Is against New Zealand just before the outbreak of the pandemic but failed to win in either the ODIs or the Tests.
