After their dismal performance in the opening Test of the four-match series against England, Team India have an opportunity to redeem themselves by registering a stellar victory against the in-form visitors. The hosts have put up a significantly stronger show so far in the second match at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium. While the series opener was played behind closed doors, spectators are allowed for the ongoing India vs England 2nd Test and Virat Kohli made sure to entertain the fans in the stadium with an MS Dhoni-inspired move.
