The wait for the much-anticipated Test series between India and England has ended. Newly appointed Test skipper, Shubman Gill, is all set to lead Team India from the front. On the other hand, a well-experienced and top-ranked all-rounder in the longest format of the game, Ben Stokes, has rolled up his sleeves to face a bunch of Indian youngsters.

The rivalry between Jasprit Bumrah and Joe Root will be worth watching as the two finest players will clash against each other in the traditional format of the game. Also, Sai Sudharsan will be one of the top players to watch out for in the series. The left-hander has earned his maiden call-up on the back of stunning performances.
