Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has said that he did not have any concerns with regards to the Indian Test team following the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in May.
Sourav Ganguly, however, did admit that it will take time to find a good replacement for a “class player” like Virat Kohli, but he isn’t worried about the rest of the team.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, on the other hand, has been regularly playing Tests regularly since making his debut in July 2023 against West Indies. Sourav Ganguly noted the depth of talent in the Indian domestic circuit.

At the time of writing this report, the visitors were 384/3 in the first innings, with Shubman Gill (135) and Rishabh Pant (80) unbeaten.
