This team won’t take a backward step when provoked: Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli was crystal clear in stating that the Indian team won’t go on the backfoot if provoked by the opposition. Kohli’s comments on the eve of the Headingley Test, the third of the five-match Pataudi Trophy, comes in the backdrop of the multiple heated exchanges between the two teams at Lord’s during the second fixture. “This team won’t take a backward step when provoked. We play together, we play to win,” Kohli said.
