The second match of the five-match Test series between India and England will be played at the historic Lord’s Ground today. India skipper Virat Kohli lost the toss again on Thursday. With this, a shameful record has been added to his name. He has been tossed most of the Test matches in England. He has lost the toss in England’s eight Test matches. It also includes the final of the World Test Championships. He lost the toss against New Zealand in the WTC final.
When Virat Kohli went to England for the first time in 2018, he lost the toss in all five Tests. Virat Kohli has captained the England team 8 times so far and has lost the toss every time. Kohli has also lost the toss in the first two Tests of the current five-Test series. Under Kohli’s captaincy, India have played a total of 16 Tests against England, in which they have lost 14 times. Kohli has won the toss only 2 times.
