The 32-year-old Stuart Broad, who is returning to action after recovering from an ankle injury, said England have plans to stop a key player like Virat Kohli.
“I really don’t agree with the theory that one particular bowler can target a world-class batsman,” Broad was quoted as saying by the International Cricket Council (ICC) website.

“You have to have that pressure and theatre at both ends against that sort of quality — that’s when you get mistakes. If he’s able to really watch Jimmy (Anderson) and play carefully but score off me, you’re taking away any advantage as a team.
“As a bowling unit, we will just have to make it as hard for all of their batsmen to score early runs, but particularly a key player like Virat. We have to try and create pressure that way,” he added.
The last time India toured England was in 2014 under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The Indian side lost the five-match Test series 3-1 after the first match ended in a draw.
A lot of discussion has already taken place regarding the rivalry between James Anderson and Virat Kohli ahead of India’s first Test match against England on Wednesday. The war of words started well ahead of the series and since then, it has been a significant battle in the overall war.
