Virat Kohli has been the standout performer with the bat in the ongoing five-match Test series between India and England. The Indian skipper has been head and shoulders above the rest, having amassed 440 runs at an average of 73.33 in six innings — the next best being Jonny Bairstow with 206 runs in five innings. The stylish right-hander has already hit two centuries and two fifties in the series.
When asked on Twitter about the likelihood of another Kohli hundred during the crucial 4th Test at The Rose Bowl in Southampton, former England captain Michael Vaughan gave a simple answer — “highly likely”.
Kohli returned to the top of the International Cricket Council’s Test batting rankings following his man-of-the-match effort at Trent Bridge.
He scored 97 and 103 and saw India beat England by 203 runs in the third Test at Nottingham’s Trent Bridge.
India will again rely on their run-machine to get them over the line at The Rose Bowl.
