England's Joe Root and India's Virat Kohli on Verge of History
Rivals set to join elite club by leading their teams to Test series triumph
England captain Joe Root and his Indian counterpart Virat Kohli are on the brink of creating history as they look to become the first skippers to lead their respective teams to a Test series triumph on each other's home soil.
The Quest for History
Root, who has already captained England to a 1-0 victory in Sri Lanka, will become the first English skipper to lead his team to a Test series win in India since 2012 if he can guide his side to victory this time around.
Meanwhile, Kohli, who has enjoyed a successful run as India's Test captain, will be aiming to become the first Indian skipper to lead his team to a series triumph in England since 2007.
The Challenge Ahead
Both Root and Kohli face a tough challenge in their quest for history. England will need to overcome a formidable Indian team in their own backyard, while India will need to perform well away from home against a resurgent English side.
However, both captains will be confident in their team's ability to get the job done. They have both led their teams to success in recent months, and they will be hoping to add another chapter to their illustrious careers by inspiring their teams to victory in this historic series.
Additional Key Points:- Root has led England to victory in their last four Test series.
- Kohli has led India to victory in their last five Test series.
- The two captains are widely regarded as two of the best batsmen in the world.
- The Test series between England and India begins on August 4th.
