Legendary former India captain Virat Kohli has informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India that he has decided to Retire from Test cricket. Due to this, the Indian team will be playing without these two legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for the India vs England Test series. So let’s know what India’s Probable XI for England tour will be like without these two players. Run machine Kohli has reportedly informed the BCCI about his decision to retire from Test cricket. Rohit and Virat have been the backbone of Team India for many years and without these two legends, the Indian lineup will lack experience.
What Would India’s Probable Playing XI Be Like Without Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli
Without Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli, Team India will have experienced players like star wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. If Virat Kohli’s retirement is finalized, then in his place, Sai Sudarshan, who is currently showing his excellent form in IPL 2025, will be given a chance by the Indian team in the England Test Tour. Sai Sudarshan bats in the middle order, yet he has the ability to play in the top order as well.
There is a possibility that Sai Sudarshan may be asked to bat at number four from Team India, because Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul are going to open the innings from the team and the brilliant batsman Shubman Gill will have to bat at number three. Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant may be asked to play at number five. Shreyas Iyer may have to bat at number six for Team India. While in bowling, Team India’s three best fast bowlers should be Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and Arshdeep Singh and the best spinner Kuldeep Yadav is likely to be in the playing eleven.
Team India’s Probable XI:
1. Yashasvi Jaiswal
2. KL Rahul
3. Shubman Gill (captain)
4. Sai Sudarshan
5. Rishabh Pant
6. Shreyas Iyer
7. Nitish Reddy
8. Kuldeep Yadav
9. Jaspreet Bumrah
10. Mohammad Shami
11. Arshdeep Singh
