Indian skipper Virat Kohli played a skippers' knock. Now he stands between victory and defeat for India. He added 32 runs for the unbeaten sixth wicket with Karthik as the Test still hangs in balance with the first session on Saturday.
After scoring 200 plus runs in the first Test Virat Kohli made a very shameful record as a skipper. Virat Kohli became the third player after Steve Waugh and Brian Lara to hits a ton for losing cause.
In six previous attempts at the venue, India lost five Tests and drew one. Overall, India have won just six Test matches in England.
Virat Kohli is waging lone battle as Indian top-order failed to fire for the second time in the first Test against England.
