India do have a lot of strength of character and fight: Nasser Hussain

After conceding the lead to India in Lord’s, England were expected to fight back and they did so in Leeds, levelling the series.

But former England captain Nasser Hussain believes that India should not be written off.

“At Headingley, England swung the ball round corners. Skilful as India's seam bowlers are they did not swing the ball at all. But the last thing England must do now is think they have done the hard work and write India off ahead of Thursday's fourth Test in south London and the final match at Old Trafford — grounds which should suit their attack better,” Hussain wrote for The Telegraph.

“Remember, they were bowled out for 36 by Australia in Adelaide late last year but came back to pull off a famous series win. And after Kohli had gone home, too,” Hussain added.

Hussain, who is popularly for his astute commentary skills, said that India still possesses a lot of fights and ‘central to that is their captain Virat Kohli.

“India do have a lot of strength of character and fight, and central to that is their captain, even though Kohli has looked more like the 2014 version rather than the one who conquered English conditions and England's attack in 2018,” Hussain wrote further.

India will now take on England in the fourth Test which kicks off on 2nd September at Oval.
