ENG vs IND | All eyes on Captain Kohli's choice of players as India brace for tough English Test - Preview
India TV NewsThe toughest four months of Virat Kohli's eventful leadership career start here on Wednesday when his strategic acumen will be tested while selecting a perfect Indian combination to take on a good England side in the first Test of a five-match series. Kohli's team selections in England last time left a lot to be desired as Kuldeep Yadav was picked to play on a Lord's green top where he looked like a lamb for slaughter. But if one looks at this team's performance in England, India have lost 11 out of 14 Tests across the last three tours with Mahendra Singh Dhoni being captain in two of them. He came back determined in 2018, scored truckloads of runs but a poor team choice at the Lord's and one bad batting session in Southampton meant that under him, India lost 1-4. England: Joe Root, James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow, Dom Bess, Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Jos Buttler, Zak Crawley, Sam Curran, Haseeb Hameed, Dan Lawrence, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson, Dom Sibley, Mark Wood.
