Virat Kohli and Joe Root will be up against each other on Sunday. The Indian team and Kohli are having a great campaign with Rohit Sharma and Kohli being in the leading run-getters list. The team is in red-hot form as they have won 5 out of their 5 games in the tournament. 

England and Joe Root on the other hand are not having the greatest of time. The batter started the tournament well but in the last few games have not done well. The defending champions are not in a good position as they have lost their 4 games.
