ENG vs IND, 1st Test: New era. No mercy. Trial by Bazball awaits Gill's NextGen
"In my entire career so far, I've never walked into a team environment where neither Virat nor Rohit is present," KL Rahul said, reflecting on the changing face of Indian Test India walk out at Headingley on Friday, it won't just be the start of a new World Test Championship cycle. It will also be the beginning of a new chapter - one without three pillars of the previous era: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R Ashwin. Their absence marks a quiet but clear turning point, and with it comes Rahul's debut in December 2014 - and even going back to August 2011 - at least one of the trio has featured in every Indian Test. Now, for the first time in over a decade, a new generation takes centre stage. There's no doubt the transition has come quickly. But there's also a sense of excitement. Under Shubman Gill's captaincy, a young and hungry Indian side arrives in England with fresh energy, very little baggage, ready to make its mark. The challenges are real - playing a five-Test series in England always is - but so is the new captain Shubman Gill and his young side, there is no gentle handover. It is a trial by fire. And it begins at Leeds where India haven't played much since their famous win in Gill's appointment as Test captain did raise eyebrows. At 25, and still finding his feet in red-ball cricket, his elevation marks a bold and telling shift in approach from the selectors and team management. A white-ball star, Gill has now been handed the reins in the toughest format, with the hope that responsibility will sharpen his edge rather than weigh him not without precedent. Back in 2014, a 26-year-old Virat Kohli took over a team in transition after MS Dhoni's sudden retirement midway through the Australia series. Kohli rose to the occasion and went on to carve his name among the greats of Indian Test Gill do the same? Why made his ambitions clear. Test captaincy, he said, is the highest honour for a cricketer - and come Friday, he intends to lead with clarity and calm in the dressing room. More than that, he's set himself a goal: to be the best batter in the series. It's a lofty aim, especially given his modest record in overseas conditions. But Gill has never lacked for belief - and that, at times, can be half the battle. It won't be easy. Not for Gill, and not for head coach Gautam Gambhir, who's already under pressure after successive series defeats. India were outplayed at home against New Zealand and on tour in Australia. Gambhir survived, but with England away on the horizon, the leash may not be Gill and Gambhir now have a point to prove. And they'll have to do it with a young, relatively inexperienced squad. KL Rahul, with 58 Tests behind him, is the most seasoned batter. The bowling attack offers a little more familiarity, though Mohammed Shami's absence will be felt. The 19-man squad includes uncapped names like Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, and Arshdeep Singh, while Karun Nair and Shardul Thakur are looking to re-establish paper, India still look competitive. But five Tests in England are a different beast, especially against a side that has made home dominance their identity in the Bazball have been ruthless at home in the Bazball era. Since Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum took charge, their ultra-aggressive batting approach has bulldozed opposition sides and made even steep fourth-innings targets look chaseable. India were on the receiving end of that in 2022, and since the Bazball revolution began, England have won 15 of their 20 Tests - a win-loss ratio of 3.75, second only to this series marks England's first major test in the post-Anderson and Broad era. Injuries have further depleted their resources - Jofra Archer and Mark Wood are unavailable, leaving Chris Woakes to lead a relatively inexperienced attack. His new-ball partners, Josh Tongue and Brydon Carse, have just eight Tests between them. Lead spinner Shoaib Bashir, though promising, is still early in his career with 16 Tests under his belt. Captain Stokes, returning from injury, will likely have to shoulder the fifth bowler's vs IND: HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORDSIndia and England have played 136 Tests against each other. India have won 35 of them, lost 51 while 50 of them have ended in a England, India have played 67 Tests and won only nine of them. Two of those wins came in their last tour under Virat Kohli's Headingley, India have played seven Tests, won two and lost vs IND: HEADINGLEY PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONSThe pitch at Headingley had a green tinge on the eve of the Test match. Expect a bit of grass covering on the pitch on the opening day, aiding movement for the pacers. Both Gill and Stokes pointed out that the start of the English summer has been drier than normal. However, there is a bit of rain predicted on all five days of the Test match. The overhead conditions will dictate the course of play, but if the weather stays clear, the pitch will progressively get better for batting. Spin might come into play if the weather stays clear and allows the pitch to winning the toss have tended to opt to bowl here. In the last six Tests at the venue, teams bowling first have gone on to win the Test matches.254 for 7, 296 for 3, 362 for 9, 322 for 5 have been the last four successful fourth innings chases at this venue since NEWS: ENG vs IND, 1st TestEngland named their playing XI two days before the Test match. Ollie Pope retains his place in the side ahead of Jacob Bethell while the hosts have gone with three frontline pacer and a PLAYING XI: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, ?Ben Stokes (captain), Jamie Smith (wicketkeeper), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, Shoaib PREDICTED XI: KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (captain), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Gill is set to bat at No. 4, filling the spot long held by Virat Kohli. Vice-captain Rishabh Pant will follow at No. 5, anchoring a middle order in transition. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul are likely to open, while India are yet to finalise their No. 3. Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, and Karun Nair are all in the back in the Test setup after seven years, appears to be the frontrunner. He scored a double hundred against the England Lions earlier this month and was seen taking slip catches in training, unlike Sudharsan and Easwaran, who had limited net the bowling department, Jadeja, Bumrah, and Siraj pick themselves. The third seamer's slot is likely a toss-up between Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, and left-armer Arshdeep Singh. For the fast-bowling all-rounder role, it could come down to Shardul Thakur or Nitish Reddy. Given Bumrah's workload management, Thakur's experience and bowling ability may give him the vs IND, 1st TEST: PLAYERS TO WATCHKL Rahul: Having made his mark in England in 2021-22, the senior-most specialist batter in the side needs to shoulder the burden of scoring big at the top in the absence of Rohit Sharma and Virat Pant: The wicketkeeper-batter, now the vice-captain, needs to find the balance between his natural game and playing according to the demands of the situation. If Pant gets going in the middle-order, India's batting will be a formidable Siraj: After an ordinary series in Australia, Siraj roared back to form in the IPL 2025 season for Gujarat Titans. The Hyderabad pacer will be determined to prove a point in England where he found a lot of success in 2021-22. He needs to step up as Bumrah is all set to play only three of the five Woakes: The seam-bowling all-rounder has been England's most successful bowler after the retirements of Broad and Anderson. If England are to do well in the series opener, Woakes needs to Stokes: All eyes will be on Stokes's body as the skipper might need to bowl those extra overs to give cushion to a young bowling Root: A good start to England's all-time run-getter will set the series up for the hosts. Root's battle against Bumrah, his nemesis, will be one to watch out vs IND, 1st TEST PREDICTIONEngland may hold a slight edge heading into the series opener, but with so many unknowns in this Indian side, don't be surprised if they exceed expectations.

If Jasprit Bumrah is even 75–80% fit, I'd still want him in the XI: Ex-England captain David Gower
Jasprit Bumrah of India during a nets session. (Photo by) NEW DELHI: When India take the field against England in the opening Test at Headingley in Leeds, new Test captain Shubman Gill will be counting on his premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah to do what he does best: strike early, rattle the English batters, knock over stumps, induce edges, and most importantly, give India a 1-0 lead in the series. However, with BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar confirming that Bumrah will not feature in all five Tests, Gill will have to manage his spearhead's workload smartly and deploy him strategically across the series. Former England captain David Gower believes Gill must be tactical in how he uses Bumrah, India's biggest bowling weapon. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Bumrah has an impressive record in England, with 37 wickets in 9 Tests. Overall, he has picked up 60 wickets in 14 Tests against England. As India gear up for the high-profile five-match series starting June 20, caught up with the legendary Gower, who represented England in 117 Tests, scoring 8,231 runs at an average of 44.25, including 18 centuries and 39 half-centuries. India are travelling to England with a relatively inexperienced squad, led by Shubman Gill. Should they be underestimated? Do you think this team can go there and create history? Let's put it this way—every team travels intending to make history and do well. I remember, many years ago, when we toured India, Australia, or even the West Indies—though that was rarer—we didn't expect to win. But every team travels with positive thoughts. Yes, when you lose two of your greatest players from the past decade, like India have, you do lose some experience. Take Virat Kohli, for example. A couple of tours ago, he struggled in England, then came back and used that experience to produce fantastic cricket. You need to acquire that experience, and quickly. International cricket conditions vary, but perhaps not as much as they used to. It's not quite as daunting for Indian players to come to England now as it was 20–30 years ago. India's first Test win in England came quite late—it was under Ajit Wadekar. But in the last 20–30 years, there has been a lot of good history. A positive attitude will help. That said, England will certainly be pleased not to be facing those two Indian greats this time. On paper, it makes their task a bit easier. But England won't take this series lightly. India remain strong—even with change and transition, teams can surprise people. Poll Should India be underestimated due to their relatively inexperienced squad? Yes, they are inexperienced No, they can surprise everyone Depends on the match conditions It's Shubman Gill's first assignment as a Test captain, and that too in England. Do you think he'll be under pressure? Every captain is under pressure. And these days, it's perhaps even more intense than in my time. Ultimately, it's the results that dictate the reaction from fans and media. In my day, we had newspapers and a bit of TV to deal with. Now, there are thousands of media outlets and social media reactions are instant. The good news for Shubman is that there's usually a degree of understanding when a new captain takes over, especially under such circumstances. Teams often rally behind a new captain—they're all in the same boat. As a captain, yes, you have to lead and make decisions, but you shouldn't be alone. Teammates should be encouraged to contribute ideas. That collective spirit is essential. As a player, Shubman's runs have mostly come in India. He didn't have a great tour of Australia, so that might weigh on his mind. He is a beautiful player, but getting runs now is vital to solidify his position as captain. Of course, England's bowling attack is still good, despite some injuries and form concerns. Shubman will need to find his method against them. That's part of the challenge. India are going through a transition. For Gautam Gambhir, as the new coach, do you think this series will be a big test? He'll also be guiding Shubman Gill on his first tour as Test captain. Absolutely. The relationship between a new captain and the coach is crucial. They must be on the same page. Captaincy is about communication—instilling plans in the players, and making them work. If the coach and captain are aligned, it becomes easier. If not, it can be tricky. That's why you appoint experienced people—to offer wisdom and guidance. That said, I still believe the captain should lead. He's the one making decisions on the field, adjusting bowling changes, responding in real-time. Good off-field support helps, but it's Shubman's job to establish himself as the leader. KL Rahul is now the most senior batter in the squad, and Karun Nair has made a comeback after seven years. Do you think they'll be the ones to shoulder the batting responsibility? Yes. When you lose two greats, the next senior players become vital. I've always enjoyed watching KL Rahul. He's human—he'll make mistakes—but he's a very good player. This is a great opportunity for him to use his experience and support the new captain. No matter how cricket evolves, certain truths remain. Good leadership matters, but so does individual responsibility. Every player must take ownership of their batting, bowling, fielding—and contribute ideas. That's how a team becomes successful. Jasprit Bumrah may not be available for all five Tests. What should India's approach be with him? Should he play early or be preserved for the later stages? Jasprit Bumrah is a fantastic bowler—world-class. His fitness is crucial. If I were England, I'd prefer he doesn't play at all! If India need to manage his workload, they must be strategic—look at pitch conditions, the opposition, and figure out where he can make the most impact. English pitches are usually decent—not overly bowler-friendly—so someone of Bumrah's quality can be the difference. If he's even 75–80% fit, I'd still want him in the XI. India will need to be smart and flexible, depending on how he's feeling and what conditions demand. Do you enjoy England's Bazball approach? It's very different from the era of Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss. I enjoy the culture that Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum have introduced. The atmosphere in the dressing room is positive. That said, I would prefer it to be a bit smarter. The term 'Bazball' oversimplifies it. McCullum himself reportedly dislikes the word. In the Ashes a couple of years ago, had England been smarter—especially at Lord's—they could have won. Stokes was the only one who dug in while others got out hooking. That session arguably cost England the Ashes. Players need to know when to dig in and when to accelerate. The Australians in the 90s did this well. I'd love to see a balanced approach with some gritty, old-school Test batting. Some say Alastair Cook wouldn't get into this current side, but for me, having one player you can rely on to be there every day is invaluable. 'Wait until August to see what kind of style it's going to be': Shubman Gill ahead of Headingley Test You mentioned the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma earlier. Do you think Kohli should have delayed his retirement? Only Virat knows what's in his head. He had a good IPL, and people obviously want to see a player of his calibre for as long as possible. But these are deeply personal decisions. Ending a Test career is a huge moment. I'd never criticise anyone for choosing to step away when they feel it's right. What I really respect is Virat's continued belief in the value of Test cricket. After the IPL, he said that winning in Tests is 'five times better. ' For someone of his stature to say that is massive. It sends an important message, especially in an era where white-ball formats dominate the conversation. Finally, what's your favourite moment playing against India? And your prediction for this series? My favourite moment would be winning the 1984–85 series in India. That was a challenging tour, on and off the field. To come out on top against a team with players like Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev was special. As for this series, I have to back England—home advantage, changes in the Indian side, a bit of vulnerability. I'll say England win 3-1. Just a fun prediction, of course—no one really knows.
