Virat Kohli-led Team India have begun preparations for the second Test which gets underway on Thursday at Lord’s cricket ground. The visitors had a great opportunity to go up 1-0 in the 5-match series. They needed 157 runs to win the Nottingham Test with 9 wickets remaining. However, the rain played the spoilsport and the final day was washed out.
