Although the lineup for the forthcoming five-match Test series has not been revealed, there is uncertainty about Cheteshwar Pujara’s inclusion, considering that Shubman Gill has been given chances at the number three position. Despite Pujara showcasing his prowess with a remarkable double century in the recently concluded first round of the Ranji Trophy for Saurashtra against Jharkhand, his selection remains questionable.

Graeme Swann advised the current England team to avoid engaging in verbal battles and confrontation with Virat Kohli.

Swann had also talked about what he and his English teammates used to talk about ahead of facing Virat Kohli.

“We had been told beforehand to not say anything to this bloke (Virat Kohli) because he absolutely revels in a battle in the field and he loves chasing down totals. We knew what he could do in the white-ball format but back then he hadn’t really done anything in Test cricket,” Swann said.
