England fast bowler Stuart Broad is of the opinion that it is pretty tough to get India captain Virat Kohli out but the team needs focus on its strength. In his latest column on Daily Mail, that India will be riding on the confidence after beating Australia in their own backyard.
“This is not an easy place to tour, and India's confidence will be sky high from winning at the Gabba to complete a series victory in Australia earlier this month. I can tell you that they had supporters within this England team throughout that decisive match in Brisbane,” Broad wrote in his column.
Broad further lauded India’s intent and said that any team would be “proud” of how the injury-plagued Indian team performed in Australia.
“The togetherness, the character, spirit and willingness they showed was phenomenal. Any team in the world would have been proud of what India achieved despite being depleted by injuries. They are the World Test Championship leaders for good reason. But we have moved from being admirers to their enemy within a couple of weeks and what we cannot do is build India up in our minds. They are not impregnable,” he added.
“Virat Kohli is one of the best I've ever seen but if we go through all their positives we will be defeated before we've even begun. We need to build on our own strengths,” he further wrote.
The Test series between the two sides begins on February 5 in Chennai. England are touring India for four Tests, five T20Is and three ODIs.
