After having a mixed result in the T20s and ODIs, India is all set to begin the five-match Test Series against England today i.e. August 1, 2018. India played three T20s and ODIs against England. The guests won the T20 match by 2-1 and lost the ODI by 1-2. Talking about the test match is scheduled to happen at Edgbaston, Birmingham at 3.30 PM. India has not won a Test series in England since 2007 so it wouldn’t be wrong to say that fans have pinned up hopes on Virat Kohli.

Prior to the crucial test match, Virat Kohli addressed the press and said, “I want to score runs for the team and take Indian cricket forward, and that's my only motive. I'm not in a frame of mind to prove myself in any country, I want to perform for the team. Back in the day when I did not know better, these things used to bother me because I used to read a lot. But honestly I genuinely don't read anything. I have no idea what's going on. I need to be in the most convinced and the most clear mental space that I can be and that happens when I'm just focused on what I need to do.”

Michael Vaughan, on the other hand, has sent out a message to Joe Root and is men to be aggressive and challenge Virat Kohli. In an article, the former cricketer wrote, “The good thing for England is they are playing at Edgbaston. We just don't lose there, and Broad and Anderson love bowling at the ground. You expect them to step up and challenge Kohli's front foot. Bowl outside off-stump and then throw the odd one in straight to get him playing across the line and scissor his feet.”

It would be interesting to see how Virat Kohli deals with the pressure that is created around him. For now, let’s check out the live streaming details of the important match.
