IND vs ENG: New generation ready for test, there will be many changes in playing 11, these two players will debut
India vs England, 3rd test Playing 11: Sarfaraz Khan may make his debut in this game. Owing to wicketkeeper KS Bharat's modest performance, Dhruv Jurel is another player who can be included in the playing 11. Patidar made his debut in the previous game. The Indian middle order will be entirely dependent on these young players in such a scenario.
India and England will play their third Test match of the five-match series starting on February 15. It will be evident that young players are taking charge of the team in this Test, which is scheduled to take place at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. In Test cricket, India is prepared to give the younger players a try. The starting eleven for this game will change significantly in such a circumstance.
With seasoned players like former captain Ajinkya Rahane and seasoned Test batsman Cheteshwar Pujara, the Indian team has advanced. Former captain Virat Kohli is not participating in this series for personal reasons, and KL Rahul is not available for this match due to fitness. The Indian team will start this game with the youth brigade in such a circumstance.
Experienced fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah can also take a break during this game because of workload management. In this scenario, every player from the new generation will be visible during the Rajkot Test, except captain Rohit Sharma, Jadeja, Kuldeep, and Ashwin. Sarfaraz Khan, who has amassed a large run total in domestic cricket, might get an opportunity to make his debut in this game. At the same time, due to the mediocre performance of wicketkeeper KS Bharat, Dhruv Jurel may also get a chance. Rajat Patidar has debuted in the last match. In such a situation, the Indian middle order will completely depend on these young players.
Experienced all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will return in this test. He did not play in the last match due to injury. There has been no update yet regarding the injury of Shubman Gill, who scored a century in the Visakhapatnam Test. His finger was injured during the second test. Gill did not even come for practice before this match. In such a situation, if he does not play, then Sarfaraz can be seen batting at number three.
Probable playing-11 of Team India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Sarfaraz Khan, Rajat Patidar, Dhruv Jurel/KS Bharat (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
Probable playing-11 of Team England: Ben Stokes (captain), Jack Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes (wicketkeeper), Tom Hartley, James Anderson, Shoaib Bashir, Rehan Ahmed/Mark Wood.
