India will have a grueling tour of England which begins with them facing New Zealand in the final of the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC 2021 final) from June 18 at Southampton, and then facing hosts England in a five-match Test series starting August 4.

Since India has been beaten comprehensively by England on their last three tours, Virat Kohli and Co. would want to change that statistic.

Thus, as far as batting is concerned, a good partnership at the top sets the Test match up really well. This important duty lies on the experienced shoulders of opener Rohit Sharma.

Hence, the Indian skipper Virat Kohli who looked really good the last time he batted in England back in 2018, was seen talking to Rohit Sharma in the nets as well as sharing his knowledge with the Mumbai-based batsman. Furthermore, in a video uploaded on Twitter, Kohli was seen giving throwdowns to the opener.

While the Indian team was under quarantine in Mumbai, the other finalists New Zealand played a two-match Test series against England and registered their third Test series win in England.

Thus, there were a lot of fans and cricket experts who opined that Kiwis will have an edge over Virat Kohli and Co. as they have acclimatized to the English conditions and will be having a great game practice before coming into the final.
