Former India captain Virat Kohli had words of praise for the Indian cricket team after they defeated England by 336 runs in the second Test at Edgbaston on Sunday.

Virat Kohli congratulates Team India

“Great victory for India at Edgbaston. Fearless and kept pushing England to the wall. Brilliantly led by Shubhman with the bat and in the field and impactful performances from everyone. Special mention to Siraj and Akash for the way they bowled on this pitch,” Virat Kohli wrote on micro-blogging platform “X”, formerly called Twitter.
