Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara And Ajinkya Rahane: The Indian team started the first match of the five-match Test series against England in Hyderabad from today (January 25). The playing eleven of Team India was very interesting in this test. The playing eleven of the match was connected to the Test played against West Indies in Kolkata in 2011. It also has a special connection with Virat Kohli, who withdrew from the first two matches.
Let us tell you that this happened for the first time since the Test played against West Indies in Kolkata in 2011, when none of Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara were included in India's playing eleven. Looking at this interesting thing, it can be said that now either there is disintegration in Team India or the old players are moving away.
Although Virat Kohli was selected in the Indian squad for the first two Tests, but due to personal reasons he withdrew his name.
Apart from this, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane have not been made a part of the Indian squad. Both the players have been out of the team for some time now. Pujara played his last Test against Australia between June 7 and 11 in 2023, which was the final of the World Test Championship. Apart from this, Rahane played his last Test in 2023 against West Indies between 20-24 July.
Pujara and Rahane have been the main test players for India.
Let us tell you that Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane have been among the main players of the Indian Test team, but both of them are out of the team. Pujara has played 103 tests for India so far. Apart from this, Rahane has played 85 red ball matches for Men in Blue.
