England will have a chance to avenge their 3-1 series defeat in India earlier this year when the five-match Test series starts at Trent Bridge, Nottingham on Wednesday. In 2018, when India last played a Test series in England, the visitors lost 4-1 and once again Virat Kohli's team will face a test of pace and swinging conditions. Injuries to Mayank Agarwal and Shubman Gill have somewhat upset India's plans and KL Rahul, selected in the squad as a middle order batsman, may have to open the Indian batting with Rohit Sharma. England will miss Ben Stokes for sure but Sam Curran, the young all-rounder who has time and again proven his skills, will be a good replacement. The Test match will see quality pacers on both sides. James Anderson, who will lead the English attack, is three wickets shy of overtaking Anil Kumble's 619 even as Kohli will seek some "relentless" display from his players.
