#5 Skipper Kohli determined to turn the tables

It was a horrendous outing with the bat for India’s current skipper Virat Kohli when he last toured England in whites. It was an ordinary tour for a player of his standards when he averaged meagre 13.4 in the ten innings. It would be an eager Kohli who would look to turn things around this time when he takes the field with an added responsibility of being the leader of the side.
Kohli’s vulnerability of fishing outside the off stump was exposed when he faced tough times against the English spearhead James Anderson in 2014. Anderson had Virat as his bunny when he got him out five times in the entire series. Now after four years, if there’s any stone left unturned that puts a question mark on Kohli being an all-time great, it is his performance against the moving ball, which he’ll be desperate to make certain changes in the records set by him. If India is to do well, Kohli has to perform to the best of his abilities to lead his team’s surge in the forthcoming series.
