The Indian Test team is high on confidence after conquering the impervious Cape Town as they approach another hugely significant Test series against England. The English team is looking like a very well-drilled unit with a clearly outlined philosophy. The battle would be fearsome and, in this article, we will take a look at those 3 battle-ready India squads that can grab the headlines in the first two Test matches of the series.
Rohit Sharma
Recently the former England spinner, Monty Panesar, called an Indian batter ‘the Bradman’ of spinning tracks and that batter is none other than the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma. He will be one of the biggest factors behind India’s bid to win this test series. His record in Indian conditions has been brilliant in the last few years and the Indian fans would be hoping that he adds a lot more runs to his account during this series.
Virat Kohli
One cannot forget to mention Virat Kohli whenever a series of this intensity is around the corner. Virat will be one of the main priorities for the desperate English side as the former Indian skipper is in some mind-blowing form. His contributions will be decisive for the Indian team as he still holds a lot of importance in the Indian batting order.
After the departure of senior figures like Pujara and Rahane, the responsibility will be even more on someone like Virat Kohli.
R Ashwin
In every Test series played on Indian soil in modern times, a certain crafty off-spinner from Tamil Nadu is always one of the main protagonists for the Indian team. You guessed it right; we are talking about Ravichandran Ashwin. The story will be no different in the upcoming series as well and the off-spinner will be the biggest headache for the visitors.
Ashwin is also getting close to the revered 500 wicket-mark and if all things go as expected he will be crossing that milestone in this series itself.
