Earlier Virat Kohli hogged the limelight for his bow and arrow gesture during the Test series against South Africa. In the second Test between South Africa and India at the Newlands, soon after Jansens dismissal, Keshav Maharaj took the guards with the DJ playing “Ram Siya Ram” on his entry. Just at this moment, Kohli did the Lord Ram arrow gesture and later folded his hands.
The Andhra Pradesh batter has so far managed just 129 runs from five Tests. Despite this, the 30-year-old has been backed in the Test squad for the England Test series.
India’s squad for first two Tests against England:
Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), KS Bharat (wk), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah (vc), Avesh Khan
