Veteran Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake acknowledged Virat Kohli for taking accountability whenever the team ends up on the wrong side of the result. In a video, he talked about Kohli and how his captaincy methods have captivated him. "What I really love about Team India is that Virat Kohli doesn't find any excuses. That's what I really love about his captaincy, he took the blame for everything."

Team India was completely outplayed by England in the first Test. The Joe Root-led side scripted their first win in India since 2012, beating the hosts by a mammoth margin of 227 runs. In the post-match press conference, Virat Kohli admitted that the team did not put up a convincing performance. "He said the bowlers didn't find the right areas and that the batsmen were not as consistent. He said 'we got to go back to the drawing board and come back'.And that's what I love about Virat Kohli and his captaincy," Yohan said in a video uploaded on Twitter. 

The 31-year-old, who shot to fame after winning gold at the 100 m at the 2011 World Championship, is keen to see how India bounce back in the second Test. 

"Test cricket is absolutely the best. Second Test should be interesting, India was 1-0 down in Australia, they are 1-0 down at their home ground now. The second Test, I'm looking forward to it," he added. 

The second Test will mark the return of fans for an international match after a year in India.
