Bet on Virat Kohli

Joe Root hopes India's pink-ball horror-show in Australia before Christmas will give England an edge going into the third Test under floodlights in Ahmedabad.

Geoff Boycott says England's batsmen need to follow Virat Kohli's example if they are to avoid getting blown away in the last two Tests in India.

India's Ajinkya Rahane says positive intent is the key to batting success in the second Test against England in Chennai.

Virat Kohli accepts that he and his India team-mates have to have a stronger focus when they face England in the second Test and has also backed Ajinkya Rahane.

England captain Joe Root has warned his players not to get complacent after they secured a memorable victory over India in the first Test in Chennai.

England bowled hosts India out for 192 on the final day to secure a dominant and deserved 227-run victory in the first Test in Chennai.

Ajinkya Rahane says he is happy to relinquish the Test captaincy when India's regular skipper Virat Kohli returns for next month's series against England.

Stand-in India captain Ajinkya Rahane says he expects more useful runs from all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja in the third Test against Australia.

Virat Kohli is adamant his India side will learn after falling to a disastrous eight-wicket loss in the opening Test of their four-match series with Australia.

Former Australia captain Mark Taylor says youngster Will Pucovski should open the batting in the upcoming Test series against India.
