ENG vs IND: Won't Bring In Extra Batsman, It's Not How We Play Says Virat Kohli

India skipper Virat Kohli has turned down suggestions that he should play an extra batsman and a bowler less in the fourth Test at The Oval after Indian batting succumbed in the third Test at the Head

Former India captain and opener Sunil Gavaskar and batsman Sanjay Manjrekar had opined that India could be forced to play an extra batsman in the fourth Test beginning September 2.

"I think they will think on whether they will go ahead with this line-up or make-up of the side. Whether they are okay going ahead with five bowlers or change it and bring in an extra batsman for a bowler," Gavaskar said on Saturday after the match in a studio chat.

Kohli, however, has almost always believed in going with five bowlers as he feels it gives him a chance to force a win.
