Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson have completely different personalities but they still go well with each other. Both share mutual respect and enjoy the company.

Kohli, during the dinner hosted by the Indian High commissioner in New Zealand, said that India won't mind sharing number one spot with the Williamson-led side. “Every team wants to beat us but I can tell you there would be no spite and that’s why I could sit with Kane Williamson mid-game and have a conversation on life and not cricket,” Kohli had said.

Williamson and Kohli were seen having a chat near the boundary lines during the fifth T20I. The Kiwi said they share similar views on cricket. “It was really interesting the other day to sit down and have a quiet chat on the outfield and share a lot of thoughts that we had and a lot of similar views on the game,” the New Zealand skipper said.

While Virat is fire, Williamson is ice, but that doesn't change the way they look at the game. “We have slightly different approaches which were really refreshing but that is very inspiring from a guy that’s leading the way in his tenacious and competitive attitude but his outlook on the game and what he does in and around it,” Williamson said.

Both the captains know each other since their U-19 days. They even clashed in the youth World Cup back in 2008. 

“We go quite a long way back really, to our under-19s, and played against each other in different competitions as well, the international arena and the IPL. I have always admired Virat in a lot of ways for setting benchmarks in the international game,” Williamson said.
