India captain Virat Kohli was awarded the 'Man of the Match' award for scoring 200 runs in the Trent Bridge Test. 

Kohli missed a century in the first innings scoring 97 runs. However, he scored 103 runs in the second innings to notch up his 23rd Test century.

It was Kohli's 6th 'Man of the Match' award as a captain. With this MoM award, Kohli is now second in list of Asian captains with most 'Man of the Match' awards.

Kohli surpassed Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardena and is now just behind Pakistan former captain and newly elected PM Imran Khan. 

Virat Kohli also joined Kapil Dev as the Indian captain to win maximum 'Man of the Match' awards against England in Tests.

The Indian captain dedicated the win to the victims of Kerala floods. 

Speaking after the match, Virat Kohli said, "Dedicate this victory to the flood victims in Kerala. This is our bit we can do from the Indian cricket team". 

"The victory was much-needed in this series and in context, and to have been clinical in all departments is a victory for the entire dressing room. A complete Test for us. There was no panic, and we were outplayed in only one game out of the last 5, and that was Lord's", he said.

Kohli also thanked his wife and Bollywood star Anushka Sharma who was in attendance at Trent Bridge. 

"I'd like to dedicate this to my wife who is here and keeps motivating me. She's copped a lot in the past but she deserves the credit for this one", he said.

India will play the fourth Test against England at The Rose Bowl in Southampton from August 30.
