"Well, I would say out of many people that I have become friends with beyond a certain point of professionalism, Kane would be one of them. We connected on different levels. We connected on a lot of things off cricket; in life how we look at things.

"It was good to see his personality, and his perception or his way to look at things is very similar to mine when it comes to life and we really bonded on that," Kohli said in a video shared by ICC.

Williamson also praised the India skipper and said Kohli is not only the best player, but he has also changed the game. He also mentioned the way Kohli pushes his boundaries and improves his game while inspiring his teammates being a leader.
