Virat Kohli has returned to the Indian team, and the talismanic cricketer will be eager to put his bat to the test. For the first Test against New Zealand, the regular Indian captain was rested, and the match ended in a tie. The second and final match will take place at Mumbai's historic Wankhede Stadium on Friday (December 3).
Since their devastating 2-1 thumping against England in 2012, India has won every Test series they've played at home. As a result, Kohli is under pressure to continue India's winning record in home Tests. The 33-year-old may not have participated in the opening Test or the three-match T20I series against New Zealand. Meanwhile, in a video, Team India head coach Rahul Dravid was seen providing throwdowns to the team captain.
