England elect to bat; Bumrah replaces Siraj

February 24, 2021 14:17

Captain Virat Kohli revealed that even he would have elected to bat too.

India's veteran pacer Ishant Sharma gets his landmark 100th Test match. The 32-year-old Ishant is only the second Indian pacer after the legendary Kapil Dev to play in 100 Tests.

The pitch looks drier, and the cracks can be seen. The red soil will give an extra bounce.

Check out the playing XIs:

India: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli(c), Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah

England: Dominic Sibley, Zak Crawley, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root(c), Ben Stokes, Ollie Pope, Ben Foakes, Jofra Archer, Jack Leach, Stuart Broad, James Anderson
