With Ajinkya Rahane masterminding the series win in Australia in Virat Kohli’s absence, several former players have suggested that the former should replace Kohli as the captain of the Indian Test team.
Discussing Virat Kohli’s captaincy on YouTube channel ‘Cricket Fables’, Nick Knight backed the Indian skipper to silence his critics against England.
The pressure will be on Virat Kohli to help Team India reach the ICC World Test Championship final. In order to do so, the home team need to win the four-match series by 2-1 or a better margin.
Virat Kohli’s record against England has been sublime since the disastrous show in 2014. The right-handed batsman, who averages 70.25 against the Englishmen at home, has three centuries to his name in nine Tests.
Knight warns Virat Kohli and co. against complacency
Following India’s series win Down Under, Nick Knight warned Team India against complacency, suggesting it can go downhill quickly if they aren’t up to the task. Talking about England, the cricketer-turned-commentator feels the visitors have a chance if they make a good start in the first Test in Chennai.
The Indian team received a grand welcome after returning from Australia, and Nick Knight admitted that he was in awe of the reception the players got.
The first of the four-match India-England Test series will start in Chennai from Friday.
