Having clinched the rubber, skipper Virat Kohli has asserted that India would now “really express ourselves fully” and hope to make it 4-0 against opponents who are looking bruised and battered.
Kohli has been in the form of his life, having become the first Indian to notch up three double centuries in a calendar year.
Entering the game on the back of a monumental 235 in Mumbai, Kohli is in no mood to relax and is expected to pile more misery on the beleaguered English outfit.
The 28-year-old, who is among just five batsmen, including Don Bradman and Ricky Ponting, to amass three double-centuries in a single year, is 135 short of bettering Sunil Gavaskar’s (774 runs) record of most runs by an Indian in a single series.
Undoubtedly, Kohli will once again be the cynosure of all eyes at Chepauk, which is hosting a Test after a gap of three years during which time India have risen to number one in the ICC rankings.
While Kohli loves to lead from the front, he has in his arsenal an array of players who can produce match-winning performances, be it with the willow or the ball.
