Expansion
The Indian team has to play a Test match in the tour of England, but it is proving difficult to choose the right team for this match. Team captain Rohit Sharma has been out of the team after getting infected with Corona and the command of the team is in the hands of Jasprit Bumrah. The balance of the team has also been disturbed due to Rohit’s exit. Now the biggest challenge before coach Dravid and captain Bumrah will be about choosing the opening pair. At the same time, it will also be difficult to choose between Jadeja or Ashwin in the spin bowler.
Before the match, Dravid had indicated that Cheteshwar Pujara could get the innings started. At the same time, Mayank Agarwal has also been called to England and he is also with the team. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see with which 11 players India enters the field.
Opening pair big challenge
The importance of the opening pair increases in difficult conditions in England. The reason for India’s leading in the first four matches of this series was the opening pair. Rohit and Rahul together had a great start in every match and both were the highest run scorers for India. Both are not batsmen in this series. In such a situation, Gill is sure to get a chance, but instead of giving a chance to Mayank Agarwal, coach Dravid can start the innings with Pujara. Pujara has played as an opener in the past and has been successful too.
Hanuma Vihari can play at number three when Pujara opens the innings. It is decided to play Virat at number four and Pant at number five. Shreyas Iyer can play at number six and Jadeja or Ashwin can play at number seven. Apart from Shardul, Team India will enter the field with three leading fast bowlers.
