Kohli has helped bring India out of a almost certain loss into now a fighting chance to win this test match. There are a lot of people now saying that he might be the greatest batsman ever. I think in the past 50 years or so, yes Kohli is up there with some of the greats, but I still think Bradman is the best batsman of all time and will never be beaten. 

I don't know whether Kohil is best in the current cricket world but what I know is he is one of the best batsmen. But what matters is consistency. If a player can play well for a long time then automatically their name will go up. Kohil is one of such player and plays good batting most of the time so many people like him.

In the current match India had a very good start but they didn't capitalize that and slowly lost all their wickets and only Kholi manages to score 140+ runs and that's why India can reach a decent score in their first innings. If not, they all would have all out for less than 150 runs. England has already lost their first wicket in the second innings just for nine runs. let's see who can outperform in this match.

This is the time when other batsman have to support kohli so that India can win the test match. More 131 needed and 7 wickets in hand. I bet India will win

Do not follow Cricket much now but I think that A B de Villiers is also a much better package in comparison to Virat. I know the stats may tell you otherwise but if you compare their best innings , you can clearly see the difference. No batsmen in the world has as much variety of shots as ABD. I am not saying that Virat is a bad player, he is certainly the best India has got currently.

There is no doubt that Kohli is the key if India are going to go on and win this test match. He also needs support from the other batsman to stick around or it could end very quickly for India. If India can get the win, it would give them a lot of confidence for the rest of the series however the other players will need to step up and not just leave it up to Kohli to do all the work.

I do agree, but it is a completely different format when it comes to test match because most of the players will pay very good innings in T20 and One day but anyhow they missed the One-day series. I hope today is deciding day for both teams whether who is going to win the first test match. Both of them has equal chances of winning.

I am glad I went for England to win today morning @ 3 . I knew if they could take Kohli out before 150 then they can win it .
Yes no other batsmen performed well but we should really appreciate Pandya too and even Ishant for his good spell .

The problem is that in non sub-continental pitches, none of the Indian batsmen other than Kohli performs well. This is one of the consequences of playing too many matches in Indian pitches (esp. IPL).

Kohli may be a great batsman, but you cannot expect him to win matches for India every time. India managed to make a mess of this one and collapsed in both innings, leading to England's victory. England dropped catches, but India could not make full use of it. In the end, the better team won.
