Raina believes that Virat Kohli’s bat will do well in the upcoming series. Quoted by Times of India, Raina said, “Rohit Sharma is a great captain. He has also proved this. Under his leadership, Team India has won the T20 series. However, everyone’s attention will be on Virat Kohli’s return to Test cricket. Kohli likes Test cricket a lot, he also respects this format.” Raina says that Team India has to play a total of 10 matches before the final match of the World Test Championship. Here Virat Kohli’s bat will work well and he will prove to be decisive for the country. In the upcoming series, the Indian team has to face teams like Bangladesh, New Zealand and Australia. Kohli’s performance will improve further against the good bowling attack of the opposition team. Suresh Raina said that Virat Kohli excels under pressure. He will be the center of action during the tournament. The opposition team definitely has a strong fast bowling lineup, but you should remember that Kohli has shown his full potential against bowlers like Haris Rauf. He likes challenges and I am sure he will shine in front of the people in the upcoming series. India will be eyeing another WTC final India currently top the WTC points table with a win percentage of 68.52%. However, they have lost the last two consecutive WTC finals against New Zealand and Australia. India will look to secure their place in the final again by registering series wins in the upcoming series against Bangladesh, New Zealand and Australia.
