India Tour Of England: The picture of Team India has changed but the coach is excited about the deciding test. Team India, who reached England to play a five-match Test series last year, took a 2-1 lead with their excellent performance, and the final match was left. But the fifth and final match was postponed due to the outbreak of coronavirus. Which will now be played at Edgbaston from 1st to 5th July.
From last year, however, this time the picture of Team India has changed. The coach, captain, and vice-captain have changed. Instead of Virat Kohli, the command of the team is in the hands of Rohit Sharma. While Ajinkya Rahane is also not the vice-captain of the team. The head coach of the team has also become Rahul Dravid, not Ravi Shastri. Now it will be a challenge to convert Team India’s 2-1 lead into a series win on the pair of Rohit and Rahul. By the way, coach Dravid is very excited about this match.
Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer left for England
Coach Rahul Dravid, batsman Shreyas Iyer, and Rishabh Pant have left for England, soon after the conclusion of the T20I series against South Africa. Where they will join Team India in Leicester.
