This will be the first Test series after the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see who will replace these two veterans. The selectors have given a chance to KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan for the tour of England, after which the reactions of veterans are coming for the new top-order. According to former Team India opener Virender Sehwag, Rishabh Pant should play Virat Kohli instead of Virat Kohli, while Sai Sudarshan should come to bat on number-3.

Sehwag further said, “Who will play the number four. Will you feed KL Rahul at number 4 or will Sai will feed Sudarshan or feed Rishabh Pant. Now the battle of four number will go on. Because who will play at number four and the England will score in the series, then it will be sure that it will be four numbers in the coming time.” Sehwag further said, “According to me, Shubman Gill and Jaiswal open. Sai Sudarshan came at number three, Rishabh Pant came at number four. KL Rahul came at number five.
Batting star Shubman Gill was appointed as the captain of the 18 -member Indian Test team passing through the ‘big change of’ on Saturday, while Rishabh Pant was given the responsibility of vice -captain for the five -match series in England. Gill, twenty -five -year -old Gill will be India’s fifth youngest Test captain.

Gill has played 32 Test matches so far after making his debut in 2020 and has scored 1893 runs at an average of 35 with five centuries and seven fifties playing in the top order. At the same time, 27 -year -old Pant is a little experienced who has scored 2948 runs at an average of 43 Test matches 42.11. He joined the team in 2018, after which he has scored six centuries and 15 half -centuries.
Fast bowler Mohammed Shami has been excluded from the team. He was not considered sufficiently fit for this long series. Left -handed young batsman B Sai Sudarshan and left hand fast bowler Arshdeep Singh were included in the Test team for the first time. Karun Nair is returning to the national team after eight years. Nair played his previous Test match for India in 2017.
Harshit Rana and Sarfaraz Khan have been dropped from the team of Australia tour. However, Sarfaraz had claimed that he had removed some of his fitness concerns by reducing his weight. Apart from Gill, Bumrah was also another strong contender for captaincy, but the selectors decided to hand over the leadership responsibility to the Punjab batsman. There were also questions on Bumrah’s fitness and Agarkar admitted that the availability of star fast bowler for the entire series is a matter of concern.
Abhimanyu Ishwar, who has scored a lot of runs in domestic cricket, has got a place in the team as ‘Reserve’ opener. He was elected earlier too but could never join the playing XI.
