  1. Wasim Jaffer picks India’s playing XI for the first Test against England Former India player turned coach Wasim Jaffer has revealed his preferred playing XI for the first Test against England, which will begin on Wednesday (August 4). However, he didn’t include Mohammed Siraj and Hanuma Vihari to the side and named KL Rahul as the opening partner of Rohit Sharma as Mayank Agarwal has been ruled out of the first Test. Image Source by Twitter While speaking on his official YouTube channel, Wasim Jaffer said: “There could be few issues regarding team selection. Whether to play Siraj or Hanuma Vihari or whether to go with two spinners. It all depends on the pitch. There could be a question mark on the third seamer’s spot. Bumrah, Ishant, and Shami will play, or Siraj will play in place of someone. It’s going to be an interesting selection.” “If one spinner does not play, then we could see either Vihari or KL Rahul playing. KL Rahul scored a hundred in the practice game. So he will be a strong contender. And he can give balance and options to the side as an opener or a middle-order batter too. Overall, I feel we are going in with a very strong playing XI in this Test match,” Wasim Jaffer again shared.

  2. Image Source by Twitter He also shared the importance of scoring runs in Test matches against England and also added that they need to put up 350-400 totals on the board to defend the total against a strong side like England as well.

  3. “In the WTC final and even in the series in 2014 and 2018, the one problem we had was not posting big totals on the board consistently. So I feel this will be a challenge for the Indian batters this time, right from openers to Cheteshwar Pujara to Ajinkya Rahane and definitely Virat Kohli, who is the backbone of this team. The whole batting unit needs to take responsibility. Because if we can post 350-400 runs consistently, we have the bowling attack to take 20 wickets. But the challenge is to put a big score on the board. It will be an exciting series for sure,” concluded Wasim Jaffer Wasim Jaffer’s playing XI: Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah Follow Cricadium Stats, Latest Cricket News, Live Cricket Score, Fantasy Tips, Dream11 Tipsand Today Match Prediction Stay updated Indian cricket team with all the cricketing roster, records, history & action.
