Kohli was out for a golden duck in the first innings at Trent Bridge and it was important for him to make a statement this time around. The 32-year-old applied himself well but poked at a good delivery from Ollie Robinson that led to his downfall. He was caught at first slip by counterpart Joe Root with only a few overs left on Day 1.
In a video on his YouTube channel, Ramiz Raja explained how deliveries outside off-stump are becoming a problem for Kohli. He feels the Indian skipper can learn from KL Rahul to show trust in his defense and leave the balls outside off-stump.
Cheteshwar Pujara needs to get mentally strong: Ramiz Raja
Ramiz Raja believes Cheteshwar Pujara is under tremendous pressure due to his lack of runs of late. Pujara once again failed to make an impact as he was dismissed cheaply by Anderson, knicking to Jonny Bairstow in the slips.
The way Pujara was dismissed, playing away from his body, was something that concerned Ramiz Raja. He feels Pujara will need to make more use of his feet and correct his game from a mental point of view.
India will resume Day 2 on 276/3 and will be keen to make the strong platform laid by KL Rahul (127 batting) count.
