Indian cricket team
India vs England 3rd Test Match: A five-Test series will be played between India and England. Two friendlies of the series have been completed and the series is currently tied 1-1. The English team won the first Test match by 28 runs. After that, Team India made a strong comeback and won the second game by 106 runs. Now the third match between the two teams will be played at the Rajkot ground from February 15. By winning this game, Team India will aim to take a 2-1 lead in the series. But one batsman in the English team has more experience than eight Indian batsmen.
This English batsman is ahead
For the Indian team, Rohit Sharma has played 56 Tests, Yashasvi Jaiswal has played 6 Tests, Shubman Gill has played 22 Tests, Rajat Patidar has played 1 Test and KS Bharat has played 7 Test matches. Unlike Sarfaraz Khan, Devdutt Paddikal and Dhruv Jurel, these three players have not made their debut yet. These 8 batsmen have played 92 Test matches together so far. On the other hand, England’s superstar batsman Joe Root has played 137 Test matches. This means Joe Root from England is superior to eight batsmen from India. Root has played 45 Test matches against more than 8 Indian batsmen.
KL Rahul is out
Even before the start of the Test match, Team India suffered a major blow and KL Rahul got injured and is out of the third Test. As soon as the selectors picked the series for the remaining three Test matches against England, they had made it clear that Rahul’s game would depend on his fitness. But he’s not completely fit at the moment. In his place, Devdutt Paddikal has a chance in the Indian Test team.
Indian Test team for the third Test:
Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, KS Bharat, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Akash Deep, Devdutt Padikkal.
