India's Predicted Playing XI for the first Test against England
The Indian squad for the first two Test matches has been announced and with skipper Virat Kohli returning after paternity leave it will be a massive boost for Team India going into the Test series.
2. Shubman Gill
Being one of the debutants who impressed everyone with his performance in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Shubman Gill amassed 259 runs at a solid average of 51.80 in the six innings he played.
Shubman Gill impressed everyone with his elegant stroke-play at the top of the order and scored 45 & 35* on his debut and followed it up with an elegant fifty at SCG. However, the young 21-years-old came into the limelight once again as he played another stylish inning and scored 91 runs in the series decider at Gabba.
The right-handed batsman was vital in India’s historic victory over Australia Down Under and is expected to retain the opening slot alongside Rohit Sharma despite the availability of Mayank Agarwal.
