After England beat India by an innings and 159 runs in the second of five Tests at Lord’s, Virat Kohli, the India captain, admitted that his side had been “really outplayed”.
“We have to accept the mistakes, learn from them, put them aside, make sure we’re not thinking about the same mistakes again, rather get confident and not repeat those again,” Kohli said after the match ended on Sunday, August 13.
“As of yesterday and today, it wasn’t great. Back is one thing that can be really tricky. It happened during the last leg of the South Africa tour when I missed a T20 game,” he said. “The good thing is I have five days before the next Test.
“We’re confident, with rehab and strengthening, I should be ready for the next game although not with the same intensity on the field, but I should be able to hold a position in the field and be 100 per cent with the bat. I think five days is good enough to be better for the next game.”
