India vs England: Kohli, Root unveil trophy; both captain confident of series win

Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli and England cricket team captain Joe Root unveiled the match trophy ahead of their 5-match Test Series on Tuesday. Captain Virat Kohli said, “The preparations have been good up till now. Practice game also went well, we all got good time in the middle. We are in a good frame of mind, both batsmen and bowlers. It’s a 5 match series, so it is not like we will be playing barely 2 matches. If the match goes either way in a longer series, there is desperation. Patience is required in such matches. Everyone is in a good space.” Captain Joe Root said, “We are not going to have too many preconceived ideas about what team India has to throw at us. I feel our team gives us great balance on this surface and a good chance to get 20 wickets.”
