Twitter reacts as Virat Kohli confirms his county stint ahead of England tour

Virat Kohli confirmed to play the County cricket for Surrey in the month of June. It is to be noted that Kohli had a poor outing against England in the 2014 tour where he scored just 134 runs in 5 tests at an average of 13.4.This series raised eyebrows regarding his selection in the longer format of the game.

Today, the Indian skipper has confirmed his county stint and this will be one of the most exciting things ahead of the Indian overseas tour. Kohli has made an impact in every country he visited, but conquering the English has been really a challenge.

Speaking on the same, Kohli said “It has long been an ambition of mine to play county cricket and I am thankful to Alec Stewart and Surrey for allowing me the opportunity to join them during their 2018 season. I can”t wait to get to the Kia Oval.”

Pujara and Ishant are already playing county for Sussex and Yorkshire. With Virat coming in, it will be really interesting to see the performance of these players in the upcoming England tour.

Kohli will now miss the only test against Afghanistan at Bengaluru. Further details regarding the same are awaited.
