New Delhi. The Indian cricket team has arrived in the 5 -Test series on the tour of England, without a long time without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The discussion has intensified about how the playing XI will be in the first Test match without two experienced players. Karun Nair, who has made a double century against England Lions from India A, has strengthened his claim. Sai Sudarshan, who emerged as a run machine in Indian Premier League and domestic cricket, is also claiming claims.
Karun Nair’s strong comeback returned after 8 years
Karun Nair, who is making a comeback in the Indian team after 8 years, is being talked about everywhere. After scoring runs in domestic cricket, the selectors have given him a chance on this tour. In the practice match of India A, Karun hit a double century. Due to the experience of this batsman and being aware of the circumstances of England, a chance can be given in the middle order. Coach Gautam Gambhir also talked about Karun in a press conference.

Abhimanyu Ishwaran again disappointed
Abhimanyu Ishwar has not been able to make a place in the playing eleven till now even after making a place in Team India. While captaining the team, he also failed to play a big innings in India AK practice match. Abhimanyu scored 68 and 80 runs during the second innings in two Tests against England Lions. In the first innings, both scored 8 and 11 runs in both matches. Based on this performance, it is difficult to choose in the playing XI.
“Special Talent” Sai Sudarshan will get a chance?
Even though Sai Sudarshan does not have experience of playing Test, but the knowledgeable people are calling this youth “special talent”. Sai impressed the selectors with its better technology in domestic cricket. Even during the Indian Premier League, he looted Wah Vahi due to restraint and technology. Sai, who has played in county cricket, has done well and due to this he can get a debut cap.
