Delhi: The 5 -match Test series between India and England is going to start from June 20. Before this tour, there is a hopes of major changes in Team India, because captain Rohit Sharma and now Virat Kohli have also retired from international cricket. Rohit, who has been the backbone of the team for the last 5-6 years, will no longer be a part of the team.
Apart from Rohit, now Virat Kohli has also said goodbye to Test cricket before the tour of England. India is now starting the new World Test Championship cycle, and in such a situation, Team India will land on England’s land with a new team.
The team’s command can be given to young batsman Shubman Gill this time. Gill is currently counted among the most promising batsmen in the world and he is being considered the future of Indian cricket.
Without Rohit and Virat, the number of senior players in the team will be very less. Jaspreet Bumrah, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja are considered to be the experienced pillars of this team. If Mohammed Shami also fit, then you can join the team.
The Indian Test team can be something as follows:
Shubman Gill (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudarshan, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Dhruv Jurael (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Akshar Patel, Washington Sundar, Jasington Sundar, Jasington Sundar, Jasington Sundar, Mohammad Siraj, Mohammad Shami, Akash Deep
In this series, the pair of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal can open. On the tour of Australia, both of them performed well. Rahul also has experience of playing in England, which will be useful.
Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant will be the batting axis of the team. Both these players will strengthen the team in the middle order and Pant will also take over the responsibility of wicketkeeping.
Young players like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurael will compete with Sai Sudarshan and Karun Nair. These four players will also be on the tour of England A team and can make it to the main team from there.
Given the circumstances of England, Ravindra Jadeja can land as a spinner alone, although Washington Sundar will also be in the match. The responsibility of fast bowling will be on Bumrah, Siraj, the famous Krishna and Nitish Reddy.
