The second Test of the five-match series between India and England is being played at Lord’s Cricket Ground. England skipper Virat Kohli has once again lost the toss. Joe Root, who won the toss, decided to bowl first. Speaking of Test cricket, this is the seventh consecutive match in England where Virat Kohli has lost the toss. Asked if Virat Kohli would decide if he won the toss, the Indian captain laughed. Virat is quite unlucky in terms of toss. Virat losing the toss is going viral on social media.
India has made a change in Playing XI for the Lord’s Test. Ishant Sharma is back to replace injured Shardul Thakur. When Team India won the Lord’s in 2014, Ishant took seven wickets in the innings. The first Test of the current Test series took place at Nottingham, where Virat lost the toss.

Virat said after the toss, 12 players have already been announced and R Ashwin is part of it. Virat said such a decision was made on the playing XI because of the interest of the team. He said every player wants his contribution. R Ashwin never played his first Test match. In the Nottingham Test, India needed 157 to win the last day, but England needed 9 wickets. Due to the rain the last day’s play could not take place and the match ended in a draw. The Lord’s Test has also begun with rain. The rain delayed the toss a bit, but the rain stopped quickly and the toss was about 20 minutes late.
