IND vs Eng: The 5 Test series between India and England will start from June 20. Team India has reached England for this series. Shubman Gill will be seen captaining Tests for the first time after the retirement of Rohit Sharma, but this tour is not going to be easy for Gill, because he will have a big pressure to eliminate 18 years of drought.
India last won a Test series in England since 2007. The Pataudi Trophy was started through this series. Under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid, India defeated England 1-0 in his house. Since then, India has visited England 4 times, out of which Team India has suffered defeat. Whereas the series played in 2021-22 was at a par at 2-2. Let us know that now the Indo-England Test series will not be played in the name of Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy, not the Pataudi Trophy.
Now in the year 2025, captain Shubman Gill will be under pressure to win the series in England after 18 years. Gill is going to captain the Indian team in the first Test. In such a situation, it is bound to have a lot of pressure on him, but Gill will have to do wonders in this series besides the captaincy. If India wants to win this series, then it will have to strengthen its batting.
KL Rahul is currently playing an unofficial Test match against England Lions for India A. This Test match is being played from today. On the first day, KL Rahul scored a brilliant century while opening. Rahul was dismissed for 116 runs. In such a situation, KL Rahul can open with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the Test series against England. In this series, both these openers will have to give Team India a strong start. At the same time, Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurael are also going to be eyeing.
Shubman Gill (Captain), Rishabh Pant (Vice -captain and wicketkeeper), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan, Abhimanyu Ishwar, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurlel (wicketkeeper), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Akash Deep, Kuldeep, Kuldeep, Kuldeep, Kuldeep Yadav
