The first match of this 5 -match series will be played in the headingley, for which Team India is sweating heavily. The Indian Test team led by the new captain Shubman Gill has reached England and started preparing. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer and Gautam Gambhir’s opening partner in IPL, Robin Uthappa has described his Indian playing-11 for the first Test of the series.

Choose these names in Top-6

Uthappa chose KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal as openers among the top four players, followed by Sai Sudarshan and Shubman Gill on number 3 and number 4 respectively. At number 5, this former cricketer chose Karun Nair, who returned to the Test team after 8 years, who recently introduced his tremendous form by scoring a double century in the match against England Lions. Utkalkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant was placed by Uthappa at number 6 in his playing-11.

‘Opening of KL is beneficial for India’

Uthappa said, ‘For me, I want to make a strong start at the top, and I would like KL Rahul to open there. Given the kind of success he has achieved there, the way he has batted in Australia and the way he has batted in England, it would be good for India to bring him for opening.

This star will be debut in the first match!

According to his elected team, 23-year-old Sai Sudarshan is ready to make a Test debut in the first match of this series, which he put on number-3 in his chosen playing-11. Regarding this young batsman, Uthappa said, ‘At number 3 I would like to see a player like Sai Sudarshan, because he is technically right, and the ability he has, we feel and believe that he can achieve something in Test cricket. Number 4, certainly Shubman Gill. My number 5 will be Karun Nair, because you need a little experience there. Number 6 – Rishabh Pant, I like him at number 6. I think this is his favorite place.

These two all-rounders in playing-11

Robin Uthappa further said that I would choose Nitish Kumar Reddy as fast bowling all -rounder in place of Shardul Thakur and Ravindra Jadeja as the only spinner in place of Kuldeep Yadav. He said, ‘At number 7, I will keep Nitish Kumar Reddy, because he is a proper fast bowling all -rounder. Your fourth fast bowling option. Then I will keep Jadeja. He has scored runs and has also scored runs in Test cricket in England. So I will put them at number 8.

Kuldeep Yadav did not give place

Robin Uthappa’s playing-11 stars three main fast bowlers Jaspreet Bumrah, famous Krishna and Mohammad Siraj. However, he surprised everyone by excluding Kuldeep Yadav, because many veterans have considered him the ex-factor of India in the Test series against England. Looking at his Test career, Kuldeep Yadav has played only 13 Test matches for India and has taken 56 wickets.
