Karun Nair makes Test comeback after 8 years, GT star handed debut as England opt to field against India
The five -game test series between England and India has officially started at the famous Headingley Stadium in Leeds. Shubman Gill will cover a young Indian team because of key players such as Virat Kohli and Rohit.
While B Sai Sudhasan took his first hat, Karun Nair returned to the team after eight years of absenteeism, because Britain’s captain Ben Stokes chose to go to the field against India in Headingley on Friday. This test is the first match of Shubman Gill’s first release since Rohit Sharma’s test captain, as well as Rohit and Virat Kohli, a five -day format last month.
Sai Sudhasan was presented with a hymen test hat by Cheteshwar Pujara, a suitable moment since Tamil Nadu dough will play a role played by Pujara.

On the other hand, Nair’s return to the Indian team comes eight years later with a remarkable clue in the Indian Premier League with Delhi Capitals and Delhi Capitals.
Moreover, Shardul Thakur has been added to a multi -faceted squad next to the left arm Spinner Ravindra Jadeja, who filed a compelling lawsuit for the election with 122 unbeaten runs in a recent Squad match in Beckenham.
