The young Indian party under the new captain will be determined to script the convincing story over the next 45 days when it passes in India against the same volatile England in a series of five tests for Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, starting on Friday in Leeds.
History offers visitors little comfort. Only three Indian teams – Ajit Wadekar class from 1971, Kapil Dev’s Men in 1986 and Rahul Dravid’s lively party in 2007 – over the last nine decades managed to conquer England in its own backyard.
Even the absence of a virat kohli, the most engaged cricket in the last decade, will not help. His retirement leaves a noticeable emptiness in the batting line, which now seems to be a more inflamed experience.
For 25 -year -old SHUBMAN GILL, the newly appointed test captain, this series will be nothing but baptism. England, under the fearless approach of Brendon McCullum and aggressive leadership Ben Stokes, rewrote the grammar of the test launch – a challenge for which it must be prepared must be prepared.
Its altitude of 37. The captain of the Indian test was about the potential as well as the vision. While his credentials as dough and leader in the cricket of the red ball are still evolving, the “prince” now finds itself in the middle of the narrative of high betting-with a plate and a lot to prove.
