These players may fall

Sai Sudarshan, who performed a bang in IPL 2025, made his Test debut against England in Leeds. Sudarshan was dismissed on zero in the first innings and returned to the pavilion after scoring 30 runs in the second innings. Apart from Sudarshan, Karun Nair also could not perform as expected. Karun Nair, who returned to the team after nearly eight years, was dismissed for zero in the first innings and he scored 20 runs in the second innings. The place of these two players is in danger.

Kuldeep Yadav or Washington Sundar can get a chance

Looking at the pitch and weather, it is believed that in the second Test against England, Team India can land with two spinners. Kuldeep Yadav or Washington Sundar with Ravindra Jadeja is likely to get a chance. Beautiful spin can also bat well along with bowling. Kuldeep Chinaman is a spinner there.

India vs England Test Series 2025: Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, the Indian cricket team is currently practicing in England. The 5 -match Test series will be challenging for Team India, as there are many young players in the squad. This is India’s first series after retirement from Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R Ashwin’s Tests. Before the start of the series, Australian veteran Matthew Hayden has made a big claim and has told which Indian bowlers will prove to be ex factor in this tour.

This is happening after more than a decade when there is no one of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli or R Ashwin in the Indian Test team. Shubman Gill is the captain, Rishabh Pant is the vice -captain. There are many young players in the team and there are many senior players. Karun is eager to see Nair’s performance, who made it to the team after years on the basis of excellent performance in Domestic. He is also the batsman playing the biggest Test innings (303) against England for India.

This bowler will prove to be ex factor

Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden has claimed that Kuldeep Yadav will prove to be an X factor on the England tour. However, he also said that there will also be a difficult test for the Indian team in this series. We had earlier discussed that a bowler like Kuldeep Yadav can become an important bowler for India to take 20 wickets.
