Can Captain Kohli repeat Ganguly, Dravid, Kapil's Test success in England?

Since his forgettable 2014 England outing, Kohli has evolved as a more complete player; a successful 2018 Test series will be a stamp on his claim as a player who can score anywhere and against anyone

Virat Kohli has a ghost to bury in England. The Indian captain ranks as one of the best batsmen in the world currently, boasting a career average of 53.40 in Tests. In the old England, however, his record is far less flattering. He has played just one series in England, in 2014, and there he had a miserable time, averaging just 13. As the years rolled by, Kohli evolved into a far more complete player, and a successful England tour this time will be a stamp on his claim as one player who can score anywhere and against anyone.
