The Indian team has announced its squad for the last three Test matches of the five-match Test series against England. The third Test match between India and England is starting from 15th February in Rajkot.

The fourth test match will be played in Ranchi while the fifth and final match will be played in Dharamshala. Due to personal reasons, Virat Kohli will not be able to participate in the remaining three tests. However, the good thing for the Indian team is that KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja will be seen playing in all three Tests.

So far, two Tests have been played between the two teams and so far the series is tied at 1-1. Today we will tell you about India’s best XI for the remaining three tests.

Opener: Rohit Sharma (captain) and Yashasvi Jaiswal

There will be no difference in the pair of Indian opening batsmen for the remaining three Tests. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s performance so far in this Test series has been very good and his batting has been praised by everyone.

Talking about Rohit Sharma, till now the Indian captain has failed to leave his mark in this Test series with batting but his captaincy has been quite good. Rohit Sharma will look to bat well in the remaining three Tests.

Middle Order: Shubman Gill, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Axar Patel.

Shreyas Iyer’s performance on behalf of the Indian team has been very disappointing in Test cricket for some time and that is why he has not been included in the Indian team in the remaining three Tests. Only Shubman Gill will be seen batting at number three. He scored an important century for the hosts in the second Test.

Rajat Patidar made his Test debut in Visakhapatnam and he may also get a chance in the upcoming Test. Sarfaraz Khan’s performance in Indian domestic cricket has been quite good in recent times and he cannot be ignored. However, in Rajkot, Sarfaraz Khan may prove to be more important than Rajat Patidar.

KS Bharat’s performance so far has been quite disappointing in international Test cricket and that is why Dhruv Jurel may be given a chance in the remaining three Tests. The team has Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja as all-rounders and both these players would like to leave their mark in the upcoming matches.

Lower Order: Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav

Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah proved to be very important bowlers for the Indian team in the first two Tests. Both these players had bowled very well in the first two Tests and won the hearts of many people.

Jasprit Bumrah has so far taken 15 wickets in the first two matches of this Test series. However, in his place, Mohammad Siraj can also be included in the playing XI in the third test. Kuldeep Yadav can also prove to be a very good option as a spinner.
