Five crucial India and England players who are participating in this tour as well

The Indian team is all set to tour England this year. The tour is going to be a tough and rigorous one for the Indians. The Indians haven’t had a great time thus far touring England. Even the best of the sides failed to dominate the Englishmen in their home conditions. However, the Indians have got a very balanced side this time and will look to set the records straight.

England, on the other hand, will be looking to continue the dominance against India. They will be looking to build the pressure on India and try to win the series. In such a tough series, it is the experienced players from both the sides who will hold the key to both the sides. These players who have played the earlier tours from both the sides will know the conditions and oppositions better.

Here are the players from the last tour who are a part of this tour as well:

1. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has struggled in England in both the previous tours. England is one of the places where he would be craving to perform. The English bowlers have troubled with deliveries that swing a long way. Back in 2014, Virat has only managed to score 134 runs in 10 Test innings. Although he is considered to be a master in ODIs, Virat only managed to score 54 runs in 4 games showing how pathetic his record in England has been.

Further, he was slated to get accustomed to the England conditions by playing county cricket this year. However, this didn’t turn into reality as an injury kept him away. However, Virat is in a completely different league going into this tour. He has scored runs all around the world and would like to do the same in England as well. Also, his responsibilities in this tour double up as he is the skipper of the side.
