Team India, which made a splash in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, is going to start its campaign for the fourth round of the World Test Championship in June. Indian players will tour England for the five-match Test series. After this, they will face South Africa, for which the selectors can select a strong team. There will be many changes in the team from captain to vice-captain. So let’s know what India’s potential team (Team India) can be like for the IND vs SA Test series.
Team India will play a test series with South Africa
The South African team is going to tour India at the end of this year. Where it will face Team India for the ODI, T20, and Test series. Two Test matches will be organized between the two, which is very important in terms of making it to the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27. Before this, discussions have intensified among the fans about India’s potential team (Team India). In this episode, it is speculated that the BCCI can make many changes from captain to vice-captain for the South Africa Test series.
Shubman Gill can become the captain
Ever since Team India’s flop performance in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, there have been reports that the Indian selectors and BCCI may cut Rohit Sharma’s name from the Test team. Under his leadership, India suffered humiliating defeats at the hands of Australia and New Zealand, due to which the team’s dream of playing the World Test Championship Final 2025 was shattered. In such a situation, it is being speculated that young batsman Shubman Gill may get the captaincy of the Test team.
These players may get a chance to debut
Three players may get a chance to debut in the Indian team led by Shubman Gill. Tilak Verma, Mayank Yadav, and Riyan Parag, who made a splash in limited-overs cricket, are likely to be selected for the South Africa Test series. Apart from this, Shreyas Iyer, Jaspreet Bumrah, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj, and Rishabh Pant will be senior players.
Probable Indian Team for South Africa Test Series: Shubman Gill (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal (vice-captain), Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Tilak Verma, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Mayank Yadav.
