3 reasons why Virat Kohli can be player of the tournament in IND vs ENG Test series

India will be resuming their bid to qualify for the World Test Championship once again with an important series against England. The Indians will be hoping that the stalwarts in the batting order show up with their batting performances and guide the team to a comprehensive victory. One of the stalwarts in the Indian batting order is Virat Kohli and the fans would be keeping a close eye on his performance in the series. In the article, we will look at 3 reasons why Virat Kohli can emerge as the player of the tournament in the India vs England  IND vs ENG Test series. 

Exceptional track record

One need not mention how Virat Kohli has performed over the years in India, in Test cricket. Over the last decade, he has been the best batter for India in the longest format. Virat has played 50 Test matches in India and has scored more than 4000 runs at an extraordinary average of 60.05. This series is expected to be no different as he will be shouldering the heavy responsibility of leading the Indian batting order. 

Recent Form

Virat Kohli has been in a divine touch over the last few months and his form has been exceptional. In the World Cup, he was the leading run-scorer and became the first-ever player to score more than 700 runs in a single World Cup edition. The Indian talisman has reinvented himself and he will not spare the English bowlers as he is looking to continue his momentum.

The inexperienced English bowling

The England team is trying to move towards a new phase of cricket, and they are trying out new faces because of it. They have included some fresh names in the bowling unit, especially in the spin department. Apart from Jack Leach, there is not much experience in the spin department as none of the other spinners are familiar with the conditions in India. This can work in favour of Virat as he will enjoy batting against these bowlers.
