India Squad England Series: Rohit Sharma tests positive again, Virat Kohli to join T20 Team from 2nd T20

India vs England 5th TEST: Jasprit Bumrah to lead India. Rohit Sharma ruled after testing Covid positive

Rohit Sharma to MISS 5th TEST: Jasprit Bumrah is set to become first fast bowler in 35 years to lead Indian Test team in the rescheduled ‘fifth Test’.

The regular captain Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of the game.

The last pacer-captain that India had was the great Kapil Dev. Kapil was removed from captaincy in 1987. Since then India has never had a speed merchant leading the team in traditional cricket.

Bumrah will be the 36th cricketer to lead India in the longest-format since the country first played in 1932. The Gujarat pacer, who has 123 wickets in 29 Tests, has grown into world’s best fast bowlers.

The Chairman of selectors Chetan Sharma had already said that he is being groomed as a future leader.

Cheteshwar Pujara or Hanuma Vihari to open with Shubman Gill

With the experienced Rohit out of the playing eleven, seasoned Cheteshwar Pujara has a good chance of opening the batting with young Shubman Gill.

The source said that Mayank Agarwal has just been brought as “cover” and is not in the scheme of things as far featuring in the playing eleven is concerned.

“Mayank is here just as a cover. It is likely to be Pujara-Gill combination that is going to open the batting. There is an outside chance for Hanuma Vihari to open as he has done the job in a stop-gap arrangement in Australia during the 2018 series. But chances of Pujara opening are way more,” he said.

It is understood that the specialist batters in the set-up will be Pujara, Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Vihari and Rishabh Pant.

The only other debatable matter is whether to play a fourth fast bowling all-rounder in Shardul Thakur or a second spinner in Ravichandran Ashwin alongside Ravindra Jadeja.

Along with Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami select themselves automatically.
