ENG vs IND | Sure that Virat Kohli will break his century drought, affirms Dilip Vengsarkar

Virat Kohli has taken giant strides in Test cricket after starting slowly to be rated amongst the best red-ball players in the world at the moment. While in the white-ball formats, he was an instant hit right from the word go. However, his excellence has faded away in the last two years, especially if we take his sky-high standards into consideration. One of the most prolific century makers in international cricket, Kohli has also not been able to cross the three-figure mark in the last 21 months. 

"I'm sure he will be able to break his century drought, because at the end of the day, he is a fabulous player. He and Rohit are probably the best India has got and I hope they come into their own and score a lot of runs. But at the same time, I would like others also to chip in, that's important, because we can't only depend on just two batsmen. Others need to contribute as well," Vengsarkar told Hindustan Times.

"He is a young player, and the fact that we did not play any games before the World Test Championship. You take time to acclimatise to the conditions. Not only Rishabh Pant, but any cricketer for that matter. I can't blame anybody to be honest. The only thing is that the BCCI should have organised these games for them," he said.

India were phenomenal in their last away tour as they had registered an epic series win Down Under, earlier this year. India will look to replicate the same against the Three Lions as well. Vengsarkar stated that he agrees with Rahul Dravid's prediction of India winning the series in the UK and reckoned it indeed is their best chance yet.
