As the opening Test between England and India in Headingley, Leeds goes into an exciting last day, England requires 371 runs for a win. Despite the target being huge, they are playing confidently with overcast weather and bowler-friendly conditions at the ground. India, after five centuries in the game, is finding it hard to achieve a breakthrough. The bowlers have failed to get a wicket early in Day 5, and tensions are rising as England is set for a massive chase. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri made a blunt statement while conducting commentary for the English broadcast. "Someone needs to do a Kohli right in the face of opposition. I don't believe there's someone who can do that. Kohli would have done the work of 3 people," he said.

He hinted that India is missing that spark, that loud and fearless leadership, on the field today. India now needs a strong push with the ball if they want to stop England from pulling off a record chase. But Shastri’s comment has already won the internet.

Despite having pacers like Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj, India has failed to contain the run flow and take crucial wickets. Moreover, Shubman Gill's captaincy is also being questioned, as he miscalculated the value of Shardul Thakur. Thakur, who has performed well with the new ball in the past, was not given the ball in the initial overs of the game. Additionally, the attacking approach is missing, and hence, fans and commentators alike are talking about the importance of Virat Kohli, especially in Test cricket. Kohli is known for his aggressive approach, which becomes essential when playing overseas to dominate the home side.
