Yasasvi Jaiswal and Kl Rahul will probably open the entries for India, but the crucial place number 3 on the battles line is still indecisa.

Abhimanyu Easwaran, Sai Sudharsan Front-Runners for slot no. 3
India has experimented with five different specialist batters in tests since 2022. However, none has coincided with the consequence of Tally that Abhimanyu Easwaran has achieved in the domestic cricket during the last eight seasons.
The Bengal Blear has scored 7,841 runs in 103 first class games to an average of 48.70, including 27 centuries and 31 half a century. He was also part of the two non -official testing matches of India in England, where he scored 167 shots in four tickets with an average of 41.75, with a higher marker of 80.
Sai Sudharsan also waits for his debut in the test. It has marked 1,957 runs in 29 first class games to an average of 39.93.

This selection is not just about filling a place: it will also reveal the influence that Shubman Gill and Gautam Gambhir keep in the transition of the team. Abhimanyu Easwaran and Sai Sudharsan are the main contenders of paper number 3.
Karun Nair could arise as an average order option, especially if the team opts for a setting of three feeding. Ravindra Jadja and Nitish Reddy is likely to retain their places, while Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna and Mohammad Siraj will form a bowling attack.
India also faces a selection dilemma at number 4. Shubman Gill is expected to put in this position, although he would never be played in the tests. Its overseas shape is still a concern, with an average of only 29.50 of 24 entries.
