England tour of India
Challenges galore for the Virat Kohli led team India in this England tour. The time is ripe for India to clinch series victories in all the formats, unprecedented, on england soil as the team looks formiddable than ever. There is a lot of competition for the spots in the playing eleven which is always a good sign for a team , as Virat says “Its a good headache to have”. So, can the rejuvenated India rewrite the records by demolishing England? Can India find their best playing eleven? Can Virat kohli hit the road running, overcoming his mental baggage of the grim performances that he had experienced in his previous England tour. We will find the answers for all of these questions in this arduous tour, spanning over two months. There are also a few problems India should address before going into the series. The first is, where will they play KL Rahul? He is in such a stupendous form, with over an average of 60 in the recently concluded IPL and also played a sublime knock in his previous outing with Ireland. So, its very tough to leave him out of playing eleven. But one can also not split the Rohit-Dhawan opening pair, that too in England, where their great partnership sprouted. India also needs to find their ideal middle order in view of the world cup which is not very far away. Its time to give Dinesh karthik a nod ahead of Manish Pandey, whose form has taken a dip. India slowly evolved into one of the best bowling line-ups , thanks to the wrist spinners dominance complemented by Bhuvaneshwar-Bumrah deadly pair. But with Bumrah ruled out out of England tour, succumbing to a finger injury, the bench strength will be put into test.
