The Shastri-Kohli duo took the Indian Cricket to new heights in Test cricket with some dominating performances in overseas conditions including a back-to-back series win on Australian soil. The Indian team performed exceedingly well in 2021’s England tour with a 2-1 lead as the series failed to complete due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
