Kohli back on top of ICC Test rankings
Following England’s defeat in the Third Test as India reduced arrears to 2-1 in the series, what did we learn at Trent Bridge with two Tests remaining? The only difference was then they were out to salvage their pride after losing two in the three-Test series, again a close low-scoring first Test, whereas at Nottingham they were playing for bigger stakes, to keep the series alive.
Yet it is a measure of the way the 29-year-old has matured from tyro batsman into inspirational leader that the collective feat of India completing a cricket comeback for the ages would mean far more to him than more individual laurels.
“The endeavour of this team is to be the best travelling team in the world”, former spin-bowling all-rounder Shastri, a member of the India side that won 2-1 in England in 1986, added.
Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah both got a fifer in the third test match.
After watching him in the Ashes, Chappell said England should stick with Vince but they chose not to at the start of the summer against Pakistan.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, who continue to give couple goals to youngsters, have come out in support of Kerala Flood victims. This bit we can do as the Indian cricket team. In England, Moeen Ali is a very, very good cricketer and has hardly ever let England done at home.
India captain Virat Kohli today said his maiden century in England “doesn’t matter in the larger picture” as his personal glory was overshadowed by the in the opening Test.
“The management group is really happy with that and the players are proud of what they’ve done in this Test match as well”. Ajinkya Rahane went backpedaling from first slip and held a simple catch.
India’s seventh Test win in England was special not only because of the manner of it but also because of the circumstances under which it came. “Nothing made me happier than to see that the four fastest bowlers of the series are Indians”, Kohli said after India’s win in Nottingham. All we gotta say is great going, guys! “Having had such a poor performance yesterday, you would expect your batsmen to show some gumption and some guts and get stuck in tomorrow and show that they are the best players”.
