Virat Kohli hasn’t had a great comeback match. England amassed a mammoth 578 runs in their first innings, followed by bowling India out for 337. Kohli looked passive with the bat and could only muster 11 runs.
Writing for the Daily Mail, Nasser Hussain found Joe Root to be the better leader between the two.
India need 381 more runs to win the game, with nine wickets remaining. Virat Kohli’s batting will be crucial to the hosts’ chances in the match on the final day.
Virat Kohli reluctant to be his true self after Ajinkya Rahane’s success in Australia: Nasser Hussain
Virat Kohli is back at the helm of the Indian Test team after almost a mini break. During that time, Ajinkya Rahane not only led the team to a famous series win in Australia, but also burnished his image as an astute and proactive leader.
Nasser Hussain is of the opinion that Virat Kohli is balking from being himself after Rahane’s success Down Under.
It will be a big achievement for Virat Kohli and co. if they manage to win or draw the first Test against England in Chennai.
