Turning our attention to the T20s that start in a couple of days ....

OK, this test match will hurt for some time, but it's over and now Team India should be worrying about the upcoming T20s.  Considering this is England's best format and many of their premier T20 players (Buttler, Roy) are in rousing form, this will not be an easy series for India. But fans' job is to keep the faith.

 

India XI for first match

 

Sharma

Kishan

Hooda

S K Yadav

Pant

Pandya

Karthik

H Patel

B Kumar

A Khan

Y Chahal

 

I think this team is a bowler short. With Pandya and Hooda likely to share 4 overs and neither lighting it up as bowlers, it is going to be iffy.
