84 runs away from only their seventh win on English soil, the whole of India will be in prayer mode on Saturday, hoping they get there.
For them to do that, one man needs to be there, until the end. Kohli has played a colossal role to ensure India are in the position they are in after the third day of this Test match and for one more day, everything will rely on him if India are to go 1-0 up in the five-match series.
