In a Q&A session conducted by the BCCI, KL Rahul was asked, "Who is the most famous person in your contact list?" The Indian batter's quick response, "Virat Kohli," brought smiles and laughter to fans and teammates alike. This revelation was no surprise given Kohli's towering stature in global cricket. The former Indian skipper is not just one of the finest modern-day cricketers but also a cultural icon whose influence transcends the sport. Rahul's candid answer also reflected the deep bond he shares with Kohli. It's a friendship built on years of playing together and supporting each other on and off the field. The camaraderie among the team was further evident in a fun photoshoot shared by the BCCI on social media. In one clip, Sarfaraz Khan and Mohammed Siraj referred to Kohli as a "legend." Thus, showcasing the respect and admiration he commands within the squad. Kohli, unfazed by the lighthearted banter, shared his favorite knock in Australia - a gritty century in Perth during the 2018-19 series.

 Despite India losing that match, his innings stood as a testament to his determination in challenging conditions. The Indian team, currently in Australia, are preparing for the five-match Test series.

They have been focusing on match simulations ahead of the first Test, set to begin on November 22 in Perth. Jasprit Bumrah will lead the side, as Rohit Sharma is unavailable for the tour. India aims to continue their dominance in the BGT.

They've won the last two series on Australian soil in 2018-19 and 2020-21. However, they face a formidable Australian squad hungry to reclaim the prestigious trophy. So far, their focus remains on the intense cricketing battle ahead. However, moments like these remind fans of the camaraderie and lighter side of the game, epitomized by Kohli's enduring influence and the team's chemistry. As the series unfolds, the spotlight will remain firmly on these stars, both for their performances and their personalities.
