- Gautam Gambhir:
Making his return to the national side after a span of two years, Gambhir is likely to be given the nod ahead of Shikhar Dhawan. Gambhir’s technique against spin in still the best for any Indian batsman, and his experience will be priceless for the hosts. Who knows, a strong show from Gambhir could mean that the Delhi star could be retained for the tests against England.
