While there are still a few hours left for the much-awaited 5-match Test series between India and England to take place, however, the war of words between the fans of India and England has already begun. Ahead of the series opener today, England’s Barmy Army has taken a dig at Virat Kohli and Co and the Indian fans have given it back to them equally well.
Well, ahead of the series opener, the Barmy Army via their official Twitter handle shared one of the latest pictures of Virat Kohli, where he can be seen posing with KL Rahul, Ishant Sharma, and a few others, giving a serious look.

Mocking the Indian skipper and his teammates, Barmy Army wrote: “NEW MUSIC: Worried in Nottingham by Kohli’s Boys. Worried in Nottingham,”
