England against India: India’s skipper Virat Kohli posed for a group pic with his teammates Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul, and Jasprit Bumrah.
On Sunday, India Captain Virat Kohli uploaded an image with Indian Tester colleagues Umesh Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Hanuma Vihari, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Mayank Agarwal on social media. The Indian Test team will commence with the opening game at Trent Bridge, Nottingham from 4 August, in England to play a five-test series. “Work done,” Kohli wrote as a subtitle, with an emoji showing the workout that Indian players had. The Indians recently ended a warm-up match of three days versus Select County XI, with Rahul, Jadeja, and Umesh returning with remarkable performances.
While Rahul hit the first innings for a century, Jadeja struck 50 innings and Umesh collected three wickets at the first innings of the match.
Since its arrival in England, the Indian team has been leading the final World Test Championships in June. India lost to New Zealand in the Hampshire Bowl finals in Southampton from 18 to 22 June.
After the finale, the players had a rest and met in London a few days before they left for Durham for the warm-up game.
In the interim, the batters for the wicket warehouse Rishabh Pant and Dayanand Guarani tested positive in various phases for the COVID-19 and had to be isolated from the rest of the squad.
After finishing his isolation period and responding to negative RT-PCR tests, Pant then joined the team.
In addition to the fear of Covid, India also suffered injuries such as Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan, and Washington Sundar that were excluded from their tours with injuries.
