The playing 11

India

Shubman Gill, Mayank Agarwal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane, KS Bharat, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj and Umesh Yadav.

The ground staff work hard to dry out the wet patches. The sun is bright too. Fingers crossed but we can expect play to start soon.

Why Kohli’s return becomes more important?

As Team India will miss out on the services of senior batter Ajinkya Rahane and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli’s return becomes more important as it will give the middle-order a formidable look. The India captain has slogged at the nearby Brabourne Stadium in preparation for this Test and the team will expect him to make an impact straightaway. He has fond memories of playing at Wankhede, where his previous innings was a majestic 235. In that 2016 Test win over England, Kohli was at the top of his powers.

India won the toss and elected to bat.

Cheers..
