Team India Preview:
Indian team is a very good team and will start as favourites again. After more than a decade’s time, they will play a Test match without two of its specialist batters in Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara. Any 1 of Shubman Gill/Hanuma Vihari will replace Pujara while S Iyer is expected to play in the place of Ajinkya Rahane. India will have to take a call on Kuldeep/Jayant.
