Superstar Virat Kohli

Wary of  infections sprouting among the tourists, Virat Kohli reportedly suggested to the BCCI officials that the start of the match be postponed by two to three days.

Former Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne stated that Virat Kohli has got the respect of current Indian squad and that is the reason they all want to play for him and follow his lead.

 Fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj have the best chance at dismissing in-form England captain Joe Root, said former spinner Monty Panesar.

 Virat Kohli’s enthusiasm was at a different level altogether while defending the 272-run target. Whenever a bowler picked up a wicket, he erupted in joy, ran across the field roaring and jumping.

 India had just registered a famous win at Lord’s and Kohli, after his customary screams, several fist pumps and gestures towards the crowd, walked up to Anderson, against whom he had a verbal exchange on Day 4. Anderson, like a true sportsman, was quick to reciprocate it with a smile.

 England vs India: Tensions flared between both teams as India wrapped up a dramatic Test win at Lord's to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series against England.

Batsmen from both sides could have applied themselves better, says India captain.
