Team India has one last task at hand, as it aims to tame England in the fourth and final Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad to retain the Anthony de Mello Trophy. Upon doing so, India would also seal its place in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship final.

Although India remains in the driver's seat, the side was not off to a decent start, having lost the opening Test in Chennai before bouncing back in the second at the same venue. However, what has been notable is skipper Virat Kohli, who is rated as the best batsman in the world currently, is without an international century for more than a year now.

As he awaits a significant knock in this series, he is seemingly sweating it hard at the nets for the same. Before the fourth Test went underway on Thursday, Kohli was involved in a dedicated and intense batting warm-up session at the nets on Wednesday.
