#3 Virat Kohli
It was in England precisely four years ago, when the world witnessed a major downfall in Virat Kohli’s cricketing career. In a five match test series, the batsman only scored 134 runs in 10 innings. In the disastrous tour, the Indian batsman lost his wicket the most number of times to England’s spearhead, James Anderson.
Be that as it may, after four years, he is as still India’s leading batsman and is now in England to bury his past demons.
Over the course of the last year, Kohli’s form has been brilliant. Be it Test cricket, ODIs or T20s, Kohli has scored intensely and independent of any opposition. And, with the exceedingly essential Test series beginning on 1st August, Kohli will once again be the backbone of Indian batting lineup.
The Indian skipper will be high on confidence as he was India’s best batsman amid the recent Test series in South Africa. Not only that, Kohli was the main batsman from either side to get a hundred in those 3 Tests, and his oozing form is likely going to have an impact in India vs England series.
Moreover, prior to this test series, the Indian captain looked in great touch in the warm-up match and scored a familiar 68 at his newly found position of number 4.
Kohli’s Likely Targets In The India Vs England Test Series
At No. 4, Kohli will hope to control the innings and lead from the front, setting a case for rest of his partners to take after him and post a big total. As usual, Virat Kohli, the commander will likewise be tried and tested.
His decisions regarding the team, and how he drives them will be kept under close scrutiny. Consequently, the Indian skipper will hope to set the record straight with the bat by proving himself to be a global run machine.
