Ravichandran Ashwin said he spoke to Virat Kohli after the third Test against Australia, where Kohli scored 22, 13 respectively in India's two innings. "He was...probably just getting out after getting starts...It was...about putting your hands around the shoulder and telling the [other] person you're batting brilliantly," added Ashwin. Kohli scored 186 in India's first innings of fourth Test.
