Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy 2025 1st Test: Just a few days and … After this, the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy 2025 will start on the soil of England. The first Test match is to be held in Leeds (Headingley). If the playing 11 of the Indian team is seen, then it is believed to be fixed. At the same time, there may be a debut of some new Khiladis in Team India.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul will be seen while opening. Because both were seen playing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Recently at number 3, Shubman Gill played for the Indian team.

Since Virat Kohli’s number 4 position is vacant, he can shift himself down. In such a situation, Sai Sudarshan, Abhimanyu Ishwaran, Karun Nair are contenders at number 3. Karun Nair is believed to be the strongest claim of these three.

Meanwhile, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has supported Sai Sudarshan as India’s new number 3 batsman in Test cricket. Harbhajan said- According to me, Sai Sudarshan should play at number 3. He is a left -handed batsman, is in great form and has also done very well in the IPL. His technique is strong and I think he is the right killai for this place. Coach Gambhir himself has also praised Sai. At the same time, the place in the playing of Karun Nair is being considered confirmed.

At number 5, wicketkeeper and vice -captain Rishabh Pant can be seen playing. Nitish Kumar Reddy can play at number 6 and Ravindra Jadeja at number 7. Since England’s pitch pacer and seam are considered to be suitable for bowling, there is a possibility that the Indian team will include one of Jadeja or Kuldeep in one of the same playing 11.

At the same time, one more thing will be seen, will Nitish Reddy bowl? Nitish bowled in only 3 innings in the recently concluded IPL 2025, in which he took 2 wickets. Nitish was retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 6 crore.

With him, India’s coach Morne Morkel said in a practice session- Reddy is a talented player who can sometimes bowl amazing, now there is a need to do well and we are working on it. I have told Reddy that they should bowl more. We all know what he can do with the bat, but if he also contributes with the ball, it will be beneficial for the team. In such a situation, it is certain that Nitish is watching the fourth bowling role in the Indian team from Reddy.

Who will be the pace of team India, will Kuldeep get a chance?
Jaspreet is sure to play as a pacer in playing 11. Will Arshdeep get a chance to debut in the team or not?
