Nice to hear that at least off the field Australian and Indian players don't have a rivalry with each other.

Indi Rae wants to be Kolhi: Candice Warner
Last year, David Warner's wife Candice Warner had revealed that her middle daughter Indi Rae was one of the biggest fans of the Indian skipper talking about how she always wanted to be him when their family would play backyard cricket together. While speaking in an Australian radio show, Candice revealed that while two of their daughters aspired to become like father David Warner, or Australia's white-ball captain Aaron Finch, the middle one was fascinated by Virat Kohli.
"We do play a little bit of backyard cricket. The funny thing is my girls, sometimes they wanna be dad, sometimes they wanna be Finchy (Aaron Finch) but my middle child, she wants to be Virat Kohli. And I am not even joking, her favorite player is Virat Kohli. She is the rebel," she said.
Back in 2019, Warner had posted a clip of his toddler playing cricket in the house where she could be visibly heard saying- 'I'm Virat Kohli', before hitting the shot.
India recently concluded its Test series against Australia registering a 2-1 victory. It is now looking forward to playing England in Chennai and Ahmedabad from February 5.
