#2 Winning all their tosses
The coin toss, which takes place before the start of a match, has always held great importance in the sport of cricket. The main reason for this is the fact that it allows the captain who wins it to assess the conditions and decide whether they are better off batting or fielding.
On Indian pitches, particularly, winning the toss is imperative as a team would not want to bat last on a wearing 22-yard strip. Considering this, India will want skipper Virat Kohli to be successful in the coin toss during all their 13 Tests this season and give the team an edge even before the match begins.
It must be noted that Kohli had called correctly on all 4 occasions in the series against South Africa last year and has made a bright start to this season, too, by winning the toss in the 1st Test against New Zealand.
