The fifth Test between England and India, the great finale of a soul-sapping series from last summer, has been one of the most awaited for so long that it came out with different skippers and coaching staff on both sides.
The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Jasprit Bumrah as captain for the upcoming Test and Rishabh Pant as his deputy as Rohit Sharma has tested positive for COVID-19.
India's tour of England and Ireland got off to a shaky start on the opening morning of the warm-up fixture against a combined Leicestershire and India XI.
The rescheduled fifth Test is counted as the fifth match of India's 2021 series in England, which the visitors lead by 2-1. The fifth Test was postponed at the last minute following a COVID-19 outbreak in 2021.
