The first Test match between India and England at Trent Bridge is drawn by rain. Now it’s the actual test turn in the second Test of the series at the Lord’s Historic Ground. The biggest concern for Team India this time around is the form of captain Virat Kohli. Virat’s bat was silent in the first Test and he sent James Anderson to the pavilion on the first ball. Kohli, who scored 5 centuries on British ground on his 2018 tour, has not been able to score a century since November 2019. All Indian fans are hoping that the hero will end his century at Lord’s. However, Virat, who is out of form, is struggling for a run at Lord’s and has not scored a half-century in Tests so far.

Virat Kohli has played four innings at Lord’s, batting only 65 with an average of 16.25. At this time, the Indian skipper could not score a fifty. However, Virat has a good chance of improving his record at the Lords, this time called the Mecca of Cricket. In fact, the English team has suffered from the injuries of its major fast bowlers. Stuart Broad is already out of the Test series and James Anderson is not ready to play at Lord’s. In such a situation, if England do not have these two major fast bowlers, Kohli has a good chance of improving his record.

India have only two wins so far against England at Lord’s. After their victory in 1986, Team India had to wait 28 years to defeat the English side on the field. However, this time the situation is different and the first team at Trent Bridge has reached England with a fast pace attack by the Indian team shown by the fast bowlers.
