India started their tour of England with a loss to the side in Leeds. In the first Test of the five-match series against the Three Lions, Shubman Gill and co. suffered a disappointing five-wicket defeat. It was extremely poor batting from India’s lower-order and equally poor bowling, barring Jasprit Bumrah, alongside pathetic fielding. Rishabh Pant scored centuries across both the innings, while KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal too scored a ton each. It was a poor return to international cricket for Karun Nair, who scored 0 and 20 in the match.
The next game of the series will start on July 2 in Birmingham. Have a look at the three players who could be dropped for the second game –
