With World Test Championship (WTC) final spot up for grabs, India will look to produce another heroic show against England in the four-match series, starting from Friday. The series marks the return of international cricket in India and will also see Virat Kohli leading the side once again. The Indian skipper had returned to India for the birth of his first child post the Adelaide Test.
In the upcoming series, Kohli will also look to tumble a series of records. The 32-year-old cricketer is just two victories away from breaking MS Dhoni's record and become the Indian skipper with most number of wins at home.
