India vs England: The Indian team, led by Shubman Gill, has arrived in London on Friday for a five-match Test series against England. With vthe team in transition after the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, spotlight will be on newly-appointed captain Gill. Can he deliver as the new leader?

Meanwhile, Bumrah would be important to India's fortunes in England with the ball. He has the experience of bowling in those pacer-friendly conditions in the UK. On the other hand, Pant would also be an important cog in the wheel for the visiting side. He too has prior experience of playing in the UK and that should come in handy. He would be expected to hold the middle-order and play those counter-attacking knocks.
