Not going to get any easier for Virat Kohli: Nasser Hussain
Former England captain Nasser Hussain feels that Kohli has been extremely tentative against the moving ball. According to Hussain, considering the quality of England’s pacers, life is not going to get any easier for the Indian captain.
Kohli has been dismissed caught behind in all five innings of the series so far. Writing in his column for The Daily Mail, Hussain pointed out:
Kohli has scored only 124 runs in three Tests so far at an average of 24.80. In comparison, his opposite number, Joe Root, is the leading run-scorer in the series, having amassed 507 runs with three hundreds at an average of 126.75.
