There were loads of questions regarding the experience in the Indian Test team after Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma decided to walk away from the longest international format of the game. Surprisingly, the new-look Indian team has stood up and has answered every challenge thrown at them.

Indian Test skipper Shubman Gill also to be credited for the manner in which his team has played so far in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. The Indian captain registered figures of 147, 18, 269, and 161 in the first two matches of the series, but he couldn't keep up with his form in the third match of the series.
