IND Vs Eng: India’s playing XI fixed for the first Test against England! Rahul – Jaiswal will open, Sarfaraz Khan gets special responsibility
IND vs Eng: From June 20, the Indian cricket team has to start a five-match Test series against England, for which both teams have announced their respective squads. Let me tell you that in the first Test match against England in Leeds, India would like to get down with a strong playing XI, in which India’s goal will be to win this series from the beginning.
In the first Test match against England, which is to be played in Leeds, KL can start the innings with KL Rahul. Both these players have batted in England many times in England and are fully aware of the circumstances there. In such a situation, if someone can get India an aggressive start, then it is both the players, due to which Abhimanyu Isswaran may have to sit out of the playing 11.
Apart from this, if seen in the middle order, Sai Sudarshan is best suited to bat at number three. At the same time, captain Shubman Gill himself will play an important role on number four. At number five, the role of wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant will be important who will represent India on the tour of England as wicketkeeper batsman and vice -captain. In such a situation, it is difficult for Dhruv Jurlel to get a chance in the playing XI here.
