IND vs ENG 5th Test Match: Team India’s tour of England is going to start from July 1. India has to play 1 Test, 3 ODIs and 3 T20 matches on the tour of England in July-August.
This only Test will take place to make up for the fifth Test which was canceled due to Corona last year. Everything is going to be different for Team India in this Test match.
Change from coach to captain
On this tour of England, the command of Team India is in the hands of Rohit Sharma. While Rahul Dravid is with the team as head coach. The pair of these two will rock this time in England. If he follows the vice-captain on this tour, then that too is going to be a new one for Team India.
When Team India went on the tour of England last year, then captain Virat Kohli, coach Ravi Shastri and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane were there. But this time these three responsibilities are not in the hands of these players.
This player can become vice-captain
KL Rahul is the vice-captain of the Indian Test team. But due to injury, he is not part of the team on this tour. So Rishabh Pant can get this big responsibility. Rishabh Pant was recently also the captain of Team India in the T20 series against South Africa. He has been made the captain of the Indian team in place of Rahul.
Indian team ahead in the series
Last year, 4 matches of this 5-match Test series were played. The first match of the series was a draw, followed by a 151 run win by Team India in the second match. While England won the third Test by an innings and 76 runs.
In the fourth match of the series, Team India defeated England by 157 runs and went 2-1 ahead in the series. Team India would definitely like to win the series by winning this last match.
