#1 Virat Kohli
While batsmen from both the sides struggled to get going on the difficult Edgbaston wicket, one batsman who completely dominated the bowlers was Virat Kohli. Kohli played a sensational knock in the first innings and scored more than half the runs of the team's total score. Moreover, he batted brilliantly with the tail and added 92 runs for the last two wickets.
In the second innings too he looked well on course of taking India to victory before getting out on 51. This Test series was considered to be a litmus test for Kohli as his record in Test matches in England has been poor, but Kohli has let his bat do all the talking.
The Indian skipper has been in amazing form off late and will carry Indian hopes in the second Test too.
