#1 Virat Kohli’s captaincy would be tested
Trending
After the extended home season, India would now be embarking overseas for the series against South Africa, New Zealand, England and Australia. This means that the management would be forced to play with a 7-4 combination and hence Bangalore provides Kohli a golden opportunity to start on this ploy.
Also, it would be interesting to see how Kohli responds to 4 bowlers and the fields he sets for his bowlers, for there will always be periods of play when the match would meander along. Hence, with 4 bowlers up his sleeve, it would challenge the Indian captain to try something new and innovative and this could only augur well for the hosts in the near future.
