Team India are currently in Bangladesh playing the three-match ODI series and the first game has already been done and dusted. The first game ended in favour of Litton Das and Co as they beat India by 1 wicket in Dhaka.
Meanwhile, both teams are gearing up for the second game, which is slated to be held at the same venue on December 7, Wednesday. It is a must-win encounter for the Men in Blue in order to stay alive in the series.
For the unversed, the last time when India toured Bangladesh was back in 2015 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. Unfortunately, the Men in Blue surrendered at the hands of the Tigers in that ODI series as they lost by 2-1.
The likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are part of the ODI series. The stalwarts who failed to lead the batting attack by example in the ODI series opener in Dhaka will be looking forward to doing well in the second game.
After the conclusion of the ODI series, Team India will play the two-match Test series against the Bangladesh cricket team.
Virat Kohli is the one player who could drive India to play like England style: David Lloyd
Meanwhile, former England cricketer David Lloyd highlighted that Virat Kohli is the one player who steers India to play like England style. Notably, under the astute coaching style of Brendon McCullum, the England cricket team are playing a quality brand of cricket.
England have won seven games out of the eight games they have played with the help of ‘Bazball’ effect. Ben Stokes himself added that the team is playing Test cricket for a win and not for a draw.
In his column for the Daily Mail, the commentator echoed that England’s methods are not new as he literally thinks Team India can also make use of such gameplay.

You people learned this style from him. He is the pioneer since 2015 in test cricket.

They doesn't really needs to play like them but India could never have better Test captain than Virat. His aura on the field was different level

Ind don't need to play like eng in each format. Ind were very successful under vk in Tests both at home and away as well.. It's Just that we need to be aggressive and beleive that we can win anywhere..

Someone needs to remind him, Virat n his team started playing this type of cricket in 2015 itself, n these english need to understand one thing that real cricket for them might have started after 19' win but for others it started from 75' onwards …
