I love the culture - its unmatched energy. It heightens all your senses. If you can harness all that excitement, that energy there is no way you can rock up there and not be motivated to play.”

Meanwhile, Australia head coach Justin Langer has revealed how India captain Virat Kohli’s in-your-face attitude and on-field antics left them to feel like a punching bag, as they were helpless to react at him because all eyes were on his team’s behavior following the ball-tampering scandal.

Langer said in Amazon’s documentary, “I remember that afternoon (feeling) like a punching bag. We can't fight back because it felt like we had our hands behind our backs and we just had to take it.”

He signed off by saying, “You must be feeling the double standards the way their captain is carrying on and we sort of have to be careful. Imagine if we behaved 2 out of 10 for that.”
