Indian cricket team captain Virat
Kohli said on Thursday that the Australia series win has so far been the most
special for his team, adding, however, that he did not mind missing it for the
birth of his child, his ‘greatest moment’ in life till now, PTI reported.

Kohli had flown back home after the
first Test concluded, being eventually witness to the birth of his daughter.

“Firstly I don’t think the two
can be compared. Becoming a father has been and will remain the greatest moment
in my life, in both our lives. That is something to be experienced to
understand what I am saying. Secondly, the connection to the team does not go
away in any situation. Especially when you have given everything to the team.
Especially when you have worked for the last six years on a daily basis to take
Indian cricket on top,” PTI quoted the skipper as saying on the eve of the
first Test against England.

Kohli highlighted moments such as the
Shardul Thakur-Washington Sundar partnership which saved India the last Test in
Gabba, being reportedly glued to his phone as he tracked India’s state of
performance in Australia.

“The last Test, I remember when
Shardul and Sundar were having a partnership, I was watching it on my phone
just before we had to go, when the doctor called us so. That is how connected
you are to the team and how much you are looking forward to the guys doing well”,
the Indian captain was quoted as saying.

The first Test between India and England begins on February 5 in Chennai.
