Virat Kohli needs to be patient with his stroke play in English conditions: Kapil Dev
Virat Kohli has been having problems against senior English seamer James Anderson. His troubles continued in the recently-concluded series when England had visited India. Kapil Dev feels that the current India captain needs to be patient with his stroke play in English conditions. Despite his consistency in all three game formats, he was constantly reminded of his failures with his bat in England during the 2014 tour. In that tour, he managed to score 135 runs in 10 innings. However, in 2018, he bounced back and scored 593 runs from five Tests. Now, Virat is all set for his third Test tour of England. India will play six Test matches, starting with the final of the ICC World Test Championship in Southampton next month.
This will be a crucial tour for the Indian cricket team as they last won a Test series here back in 2007 under Rahul Dravid’s captaincy. Before that, India had won in England in 1986, when legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev was the skipper. India had won the series 2-0. Meanwhile, the Indian cricket team will complete the two-week quarantine in Mumbai and then they will undergo another 10-day quarantine in the UK.
