India tour of England: Virat Kohli ended a long wait as he won the toss for the first time as Test captain in his 9th match in England. India went in with an unchanged XI for the 3rd Test at Hedingley.

India skipper Virat Kohli was pleasantly surprised when he won the toss at the 3rd Test against England at Headingley on Wednesday. Kohli had no hesitation to opt to bat despite an overcast morning after winning the toss in Leeds. Notably, Virat Kohli had never managed to win the toss as Test captain before Wednesday in England. Kohli had lost 8 tosses as Test captain on the trot in the Old Blight before reversing the fortunes at Headingley. It was Joe Root who spun the coin and the India captain surprised himself by calling it right.
