IND vs Eng First Test: A changed Team India, led by Shubman Gill, is going to start its new journey of Test series in England from June 20, ie 20 June. After retirement from Test cricket of experienced players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and R Ashwin, the Indian team is going to take the field with a completely new team this time. Many players have been included in the Indian team who have no experience of playing by foreign pitches, but in this tour, Team India will have to struggle not only with the challenging circumstances of England, but also with three unseen threats that they have never faced before.
Three new threats can become headache for India
The Indian team is not taking the name of the crisis being reduced. For the first match of this Test series, England have included some bowlers in their team who are completely new to the Indian batsmen. Those who have never played by the Indian batsmen. These are three new players, fast bowler Joshua Charles Tung, all -rounder Bern Karse and Pesar Samuel James Cook. These three players have not played any Test against India so far, but their domestic and initial international performance has been so strong that they have the ability to reverse the match at any time with their bowling. Although the England team has not yet announced the team, but if these players are part of playing 11, then they can become a big threat for the Indian team.
Danger Number One, Joshua Tung
Fast bowler Joshua Tung made his Test debut against Ireland in 2023 at Lord’s and took a brilliant 5 wickets in his first match. After this, against the aggressive team like Australia, he once again surprised everyone with his bowling with 5 wickets on the same ground. Till now Tung has played only 3 Test matches in his career, but he has proved himself by taking 12 wickets in all three matches.
Danger number two, bridan karse
All -rounder Bridon Karse can also prove to be a major challenge for Team India. Karse has played 5 Test matches for England so far. He has taken 27 wickets in these matches. Kars’, who has done well against strong teams like New Zealand and Pakistan, can play as a useful batsman in the lower order, so that he can play a double role in the team.
Danger Number Three, Samuel James Cook
Samuel James Cook has recently debuted. He does not have enough experience of Test cricket. Samuel has played only one Test so far, that too against Zimbabwe this year. Although he took only one wicket in that match, but his way of bowling and the exact line-length has impressed everyone. This bowler is completely unaware for the batsmen of India, who can create difficulties for them.
Chris Woakes will also have to be cautious
Some new players of Team India will also be seen facing England veteran all -rounder Chris Woakes for the first time. Vox’s record against India has been excellent. He has taken 23 wickets in 9 Tests against the Indian team. In his cricketing career, Chris Woakes has 181 wickets and 1970 runs in 57 Tests.
Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, this new Team India is going to take a difficult exam in England. Along with struggling with three new English bowlers and circumstances, captain Gill will have a dual responsibility of batting and team balance. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how Team India faces these unseen threats.
