PREVIEW: The end of the old era was abrupt, with three retirements in the space of one tour, and there’s no soft launch for the new one – no home series against a low-ranked opposition to ease players into new roles. The Shubman Gill era begins with a resounding splash at the deep end, away in England.
For all that, though, India won’t be facing the England of 2011, 2014, 2018 or 2021-22. Those four series were significant points on the remarkable career graphs of Stuart Broad and James Anderson. Broad will take part in this series too, as a commentator, and Anderson as a name on the trophy.
England, then, have inexperience to worry about too. It will worry them that this inexperience is concentrated in the department that’s most vital to winning Test matches in English conditions: fast bowling. Mark Wood and Olly Stone are out with long-term injuries, and while Gus Atkinson, and – for the first time in four years – Jofra Archer could feature in the second Test, they won’t start the series.
There is vulnerability here, and India will know that. And India have Jasprit Bumrah.
Thanks to England’s injury issues, they start the series with two fast bowlers, Brydon Carse and Josh Tongue, with eight Tests between them, and an offspinner, Shoaib Bashir, with 16. Without a genuine fifth bowler, England might also have to rely on Ben Stokes taking on a bigger bowling workload than he has been accustomed to in recent years. In this context, Chris Woakes becomes a key player. He has played 57 Tests, is nearing the 200-wickets milestone, and has an outstanding record in England: 137 wickets at an average of 21.59. And Woakes has come into his own as the senior man in England’s attack over recent months, taking 31 wickets at 23.58 in eight post-Anderson Tests.
He’s about to become India’s 37th men’s Test captain, lead them into a new era, and slip into the role he has always looked destined for: Kohli’s successor as the defining face of Indian cricket. Shubman Gill is also about to go into his 33rd Test match with a batting average of 35.05. It’s a slightly misleading figure, because he has played a lot of his Test cricket on spicy pitches – top-seven batters average 32.10 in matches involving Gill – but you still expect someone of Gill’s lavish gifts to have better numbers. He sets high standards for himself too, and what better time to lay down a marker than his first series as captain?
Gill will take over the No. 4 slot vacated by Kohli, and Rishabh Pant will bat at No. 5. It leaves India needing to pick two out of Karun Nair, Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and the uncapped B Sai Sudharsan and Abhimanyu Easwaran to bat at Nos. 3 and 6. Going by the precedent of the Australia tour, there’s even a chance India could play three of those five – two specialist bats plus Reddy as a seam-bowling allrounder. If they resist the temptation to hedge their bets and extend their batting, they could choose between the bowling allrounder Shardul Thakur and the wristspinner Kuldeep Yadav to occupy the No. 8 slot. Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj seem certain to start as the two senior fast bowlers, with either Prasidh Krishna’s height and bounce, Akash Deep’s accuracy and seam movement, or Arshdeep Singh’s left-arm swing in support.
