India vs England
Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have announced retirement from cricket. The retirement of both giants has come within a week. While Rohit said goodbye to the Test on May 7, Virat announced his retirement on 12 May. After the retirement of Rohit and Virat, Team India has a big challenge as a tour of England, which will begin from June 20. On this tour, Team India will play a 5 -match Test series. Now it will be interesting to see who gets a chance to replace Rohit-Virat in England.
In the absence of Virat and Rohit, Team India will miss the lack of experience. In such a situation, the young Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant will be batted on the shoulders. On the land of England, many of the Team India veterans have done wonders with the bat, but only three Indian batsmen have been done who have done a big work of scoring 500 or more runs in a Test series in the English team’s house. These include Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli and Sunil Gavaskar.
Kohli did wonders in 2018
Rahul Dravid scored 602 runs in 6 innings of 4 Test matches in 2002. At the same time, Virat Kohli had scored 593 runs in 10 innings of 5 Test matches on the tour of England in 2018. Sunil Gavaskar is the first Indian batsman to score more than 500 runs in a Test series in England’s house in 1979. Gavaskar scored 542 runs in the 4 -match series.
Indians who scored the most runs in a Test series in England
- Rahul Dravid – 602 (2002)
- Virat Kohli – 593 (2018)
- Sunil Gavaskar – 542 (1979)
These players have a chance
Since Virat Kohli, no Indian batsman has touched a 500 -run figure in the Test series in England. Now it has to be seen which Indian batsman in England is able to touch the 500 -run figure. If Team India has to succeed in England, then the top order will have to make big partnerships along with scoring runs. Fans of Team India have high expectations from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill. Both batsmen will have a chance to create history. Pant also cannot be ignored.
