Virat Kohli has always been extremely vocal in his support of all sports. He, along with Indian fans, will be hoping the nation can secure an Olympic gold this time around.

Virat Kohli will lead India in a crucial Test series against England

Virat Kohli is currently in Durham ahead of the five-match Test series against England. It is a very important series for the Indian team and captain Kohli will be hoping to be at his best. The wounds of the ICC World Test Championship are still fresh and a loss in this series would bring massive criticism towards the skipper and the team.

Virat Kohli-led Team India have been at their best in Test cricket. They successfully managed to win a Test series in Australia despite the absence of some of their big stars. Fans have high expectations from this team and a World Test Championship Final defeat came as a shocker to many.

England is one of the toughest places in the world to play Test cricket. A win in this series would send out a clear message that this Indian team is still an elite outfit. The first Test match of the series is scheduled for August 2. India will play a three-day warm-up game starting July 20 ahead of the all-important tour.
