Why did Virat Kohli say “Always add some spice” to Australian PM Anthony Albanese?

Virat Kohli made 100 off 143 balls in the second innings of the Perth Test.

On a delightful Thursday in Canberra, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hosted the Indian Cricket Team at Parliament House, creating a warm and friendly diplomatic moment. This comes after the Jasprit Bumrah-led side tormented the hosts to hand them Australia’s maiden Test loss at the Optus Stadium. The meeting was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and mutual respect between political and sporting leaders.

The highlight of the encounter was the Prime Minister’s interaction with some of India’s cricket superstars. Albanese was seen chatting with Jasprit Bumrah, with captain Rohit Sharma watching and smiling. The conversation then moved to Virat Kohli, where a humorous exchange took place. Referencing Kohli’s impressive century in Perth, Albanese playfully commented, “Good ton in Perth, as if we weren’t suffering enough at that point.

Kohli, known for his witty responses, added some trademark “spice” to the conversation. When he said, “Always got to add some spice,” Albanese burst into laughter, responding, “Well, India, you know.” The interaction showcased the friendly rivalry and mutual admiration between the two cricket nations.

India A is set to face Prime Minister’s XI in a crucial two-day pink-ball warm-up match at Canberra’s Manuka Oval, starting Saturday. This practice game is vital for India, as it will be their only warm-up ahead of the day-night second Test against Australia in Adelaide, beginning December 6.
