India vs england test: Team India is playing the first match of the five -match Test series at the Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds, England. Earlier, former India player praised Sai Sudarshan. These young batsmen are a complete package and they have all the qualities that can make him the next Rahul Dravid.

India won the last Test series in England under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid. India won the 3-match series played in 2007 by India 1-0. Dravida was counted among the great batsmen of the world, in front of him, the good bowlers used to lose sweat. He was not out quickly, that’s why he is called ‘The Wall’. Now Kaif said that Sai Sudarshan may be the next Dravidian of the team.

What did Mohammad Kaif say

Kaif said, “Sai Sudarshan seems to be a complete batsman, I have seen him. His defense is also strong, he takes very little risks. In formats like IPL, he scored more grounded shots in all matches. I think he can become like Rahul Dravid or Cheteshwar Pujara in future.”

Praising Karun Nair, Kaif said, “He plays big innings in Ranji, he has scored continuously. He has the power to bat all day, he can score runs by playing grounded shots. You should also have the ability to leave the balls.”

Karun Nair has returned to the national team after 8 years on the basis of domestic. He is also the Indian batsman playing the largest individual innings (303 not out) against England. He scored 374 runs in 7 innings for India with an average of 63.33. Nair has 3128 runs in 186 first class innings.

Cheteshwar and Pujara had dominated their dominance by playing at number three, Pujara no longer get a chance. Shubman Gill will place himself in place of Virat Kohli i.e. at number four, while Sai Sudarshan can be prepared at number three. Sai Sudarshan is getting all -round praise, he was the highest run -scorer in IPL 2025. He has also played a county championship in England.
