The problems with the Team India are increased as the Captain of the Indian Team, Rohit Sharma has been tested positive.
There is doubt about his availability for the 5th and crucial test against New-look England Team.
England has won all three Test matches against the WTC Champions New Zealand recently. The new coach, Brandan McCullum, and new Test Captain, Ben Stokes have a different strategy for playing the test cricket.
They showed aggression against a formidable New Zealand side and played a test match like One day Match.
Both Teams viz England and India have new coaches and captains when they played each other last year.
The English Team is looking trong and has an upper edge over India as they have just beaten the test champions. Also, they are playing on their home soil against India as well.
The test match is very crucial as far as India is concerned because India would like to win the series with a margin of 3-1; however, England would like to conclude the series with 2-2.
However, the bad news for India is that the Captain, Rohit Sharma has been tested positive and may not be available for the test match.
India’s worry is who should be the captain in place of Rohit Sharma as KL Rahul is already out of the option.
Should India select a new captain like Jasprit Bumrah? Or should give a chance to Rishabh Pant? Or should go back to Virat Kohli for this test match?
The team management will look very closely at the fitness and recovery of Rohit Sharma.
The team India and its fans would definitely like to have Rohit fit and back in the side and as a captain because last time, it was Rohit who was in the form and had scored most of the runs against England.
