While Sachin is widely regarded as batting legend, Arjun is a fast bowler. Most recently, in a practice session at Lord’s, Arjun was seen bowling a toe-crushing yorker to England batsman Jonny Bairstow that took the latter by surprise and had him hobbling out of the nets.
There was also a video of MS Dhoni practicing huge sixes in the nets. Under Kohli’sfive-match, India is yet to undertake a full tour in overseas conditions but have enjoyed almost unprecedented domination at home in all three formats.

India’s first ODI series under Kohli was against England that they won 2-1. Recently, they hosted Australia for a five-match ODI series and a 3-match T20I series, winning the first 4-1. The T20I series was tied 1-1 with the final match in Hyderabad being washed out.
