India will probably go with 6 batters (including wicketkeeper), 2 all -rounders (1 spider and 1 pace) and 3 pacers.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the team of the India Cricket team for the English test series. As expected, Shubman Gill has been appointed as captain. RISHABH Pant will be his deputy. Two loyal stablewarts of the game, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, will be retired and their presence will be felt.
Rohit was the designated opener of India from 2019, while Kohli played number four from 2013 until the end of his career. Replacing them will not be easy. And certainly winning without them won’t be a piece of cake. After he has lost their last two, India would like to win.
India has not won in England since 2007. Although the last tour ended in a draw, India won only 2 of the 15 games in the three before. Captain Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir would like to continue the trend of the last Tour, for which India was 2-1.
What to expect in Leeds
In Australia we saw India the first blow in Perth countries. The series did not go in India, but there was a chance to win or draw. England is not as strong as Australia. India has the required staff to beat England in Leeds, the location of the first test. Even today there is a County Championship match.
14 Wickets fell in the match between Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire in just 105 overs. All wickets were taken by Pacers. Now, in a month, the fields will dry a little and become a little flat. But Pacers must be the most important power there. Given this, we can expect that India will only make one spinner and four pacers.
Sai Sudarsan What Village
Yashasvi Jaiswal will be the first designated opener of India. Kl Rahul is likely to be the second opener, replacing Rohit. Sai Sudharsan will be number three and Gill will take over from Kohli by number four. Even if there is a change in batting positions, these four players remain in the top four.
From a realistic point of view, Karun Nair is the only number five that India has. He also has experience playing in England, after he has represented Northamptonshire. Someone like Washington Sundar or Nitish Kumar Reddy trying on number five seems to be a risky gamble that India will probably not take.
Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja have been in India’s number six and seven for a while, and that will continue. Both have previously found success in England in the same places.
No place for Nitish Kumar Reddy
Nitish Reddy played at number 8 in Australia, but the move did not work well. Yes, he scored points, but he only bent 44 overs in 5 games. The failures of the upper and middle order saw him save a bat a few times with a bat, but in the end Wickets win your competitions. And if Nitish Bowls less than 5 overs per innings, as he did in Australia, you could just as well not play him in England.
That is why Shardul Thakur will play at number 8. He was perhaps the best player in the second half of the Ranji trophy. He is a swing bowler who should work well in England. Three of his four test matches also arrived in England.
No Arshdeep Singh or Akash Deep
Regarding the Frontline Pacers, Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep will sit outside. We know that Jasprit will play Bumrah. Mohammed Siraj has also found success in England. And Prasidh Krishna will be chosen because of his X factor. He brings bouncing and pace into the game and was great in the only game he played in Australia.
