Virat Kohli is world class, England bowlers deserve credit for keeping him quiet so far, says Joe Root

ENG vs IND: England captain Joe Root said that the team's bowlers deserve credit for keeping his India counterpart Virat Kohli from scoring big in the five-match series thus far.

England captain Joe Root has said that his bowlers deserve credit for keeping Virat Kohli from getting big scores thus far in the five-match Test series between the two teams. Kohli, who hasn't scored a century since November 2019 in Test cricket, has averaged just 24.80 in the series and has just one half century to his name. This stands in stark contrast to the Indian captain's numbers in India's previous tour of England. Kohli was the highest run scorer in the series with 593 runs at an average of 59.30.
