Champions Trophy 2017 : Virat Kohli Says he is Up For Any Rivals

History wants to get repeated. Fans are hoping for an India vs England final again. But Kohli says he is up for any rivalry.

The event was a precursor to the Cricket@IndiaUK exhibition at the Nehru Centre here as part of the UK-India Year of Culture 2017. Curated by the Nehru Science Centre, Mumbai, it narrates the history of Indian cricket since the early twentieth century. A prominent display at the event was the image of Hindustan Times edition of June 26, 1932, which reported the first ever Test between India (led by CK Nayudu) and England (led by Douglas Jardine) at Lord’s, also known as the ‘Mecca’ of cricket; the headlines included ‘Brilliant fielding by Indians’.

Indian high commissioner YK Sinha recalled the long cricketing ties between the two countries, and hoped India and England meet in the ongoing Champions Trophy final: “And may the best team win”.

A confident Kohli acknowledged the hope among many for such a line-up in the final but said the team was ready to take on any challenge.

“It doesn’t matter who we play against, we are ready”. he said.

An illustrated book titled ‘Cricket Connects: India-England Cricket Relations’ has been published along with the exhibition, tracing the various aspects of the game in India over history, including India’s baptism in international cricket, coming of age, and exploits in the World Cup.
