After the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, a new era is going to begin in Team India. Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, Team India will play a five -Test series against England from June 20. India’s Test format has not been good for the last few months, he had to face defeat against New Zealand first and then against Australia. At the same time, the new cycle of the World Test Championship will begin with India and England.
At present, Team India has reached England under Shubman Gill. The BCCI shared a video in which the players of Team India are seen at the airport. Team India will go to play under the captaincy of Shubman Gill against England. Gill has got the captaincy of the Test team in place of Rohit Sharma, when Rishabh Pant has been made the vice -captain.
The first Test of the five -match series between India and England will be played in Leeds from June 20. Along with this series, India’s new World Test Championship Chruk will also be started. Karun Nair has returned to the Indian team after eight years. Shardul Thakur is also returning to the Indian team.
Shubman Gill is ready for new responsibility but England’s challenge is big in front of him. The Team India under the leadership of Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir has gone through a period of change and will now have to give results. In the absence of experienced batsmen like Rohit and Kohli, it will not be easy for India to defeat England in his own house. Talking about India’s figures in England, India has not won any Test series in England since 2007, in such a situation, the same question is raising the question in everyone’s mind whether the Gill-Gambhir pair will be able to finish the 18-year drought.
India last won a Test series against England in 2007 under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid. During that time, India was successful in winning a 1-0 win in the three-match series. Since 2007, the Indian team went on a tour of England four times, but could not taste the victory. India visited England after winning the ODI World Cup in 2011. At that time the team went to play under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni but could not win the four-match series and the hosts defeated India 4–0.
