After many failed attempts to get going in England, skipper Virat Kohli finally found his touch with the bat in the challenging English conditions in the first test at Edgbaston (149 and 51). Even the mighty Virat Kohli who has amassed runs at almost every cricketing nation found it difficult to score runs in England. Dinesh Karthik, who was a part of the series winning Test squad back in 2007 too, has been poor so far in this series.

Hence, it is almost unfair to blame young players like KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya for their failures, as they are playing a test match for the very first time in these tough English conditions. Though they performed well in the limited overs, red ball cricket is altogether a different game. It needs temperament more than talent and that will come only with experience. We all know how talented they are, so once they get used to these conditions there will be no stopping them.
