Twitter all praise of Kohli
Virat Kohli is well known about his shortcomings in England as James Anderson was his nemesis when India toured the country last time in 2014. Ever since then, the cricketer has ruled the World cricket by scoring an abundance of runs across all the formats. Though he is still accused of not being able to perform against quality swing bowling of England in their own den. It is clear with his decision now that he badly wants to prove everyone wrong and win the Test series against England by leading from the front.
Reportedly, Kohli will make himself available for Surrey in County Championship this year from June 9 to June 28. He will play in three matches against Hampshire, Somerset and Yorkshire before the actual tour of England commences with T20 Internationals.
