India vs England Test Series 2025: It is not just a test series, but the end of an era and the beginning of the new era. There are some moments in the history of cricket that are recorded not only on the scoreboard, but in crores of hearts. India’s Test team is stepping into one such fire test from today. Veterans like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin are no longer part of the team. The players whose Indian cricket jawans were in the shadow have now been replaced by the new generation. The face of this new generation is Shubman Gill, a 25 -year -old young captain, who has a dream to create history on his shoulders.
And standing in front, the England team which has changed the definition of Test cricket. England, led by Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes, are no longer the team that played defensive for 5 days. She now attacks, plays to win on every ball. In such a situation, this series for India is not just cricket, but the battle is to break the old traditions and write new history.
45 days, 5 tests, and a golden dream
The first Test of this series being played for Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy has started from today. The next 45 days will be very important for Indian cricket. India has won the Test series only three times in England – Ajit Wadekar in 1971, Kapil Dev in 1986 and Rahul Dravid in 2007. Now Shubman Gill has a chance to add his name to this golden list.
The match started at 3:30 pm Indian time. And the start of the story became exciting from the toss itself. England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and decided to bowl first. Gill also admitted that if the toss came in his favor, he would also choose the bowling. This means clearly – England intends to give the initial shock to India.
New hope, new star: Sudarshan’s debut
The biggest attraction of this series is Sai Sudarshan’s Test debut. Sudarshan will bat at number three to get a Test cap from Cheteshwar Pujara. It is a big bet to bring Sudarshan in the Test team, which has scored 1957 runs in 49 matches in first class cricket at an average of around 39. Batting on the number-3 in place of Virat Kohli, where Indian cricket has seen many veterans, will not be easy. Shubman Gill himself will land at number four. The wicketkeeping will be held on Rishabh Pant’s shoulders, while Karun Nair will be seen at number six. And yes, Karun Nair’s return has once again opened the pages of history.
Karun’s return to ‘Tahera century’
The story of Karun Nair is no less than a film script. Run at an average of 62.33 in six Tests, a triple century-303-* and then suddenly missing! After eight years, Karun is again on the field wearing Team India’s Test jersey. The last time he played the Test for India, Virat was the captain and was competing with Australia in Dharamshala. Now Gill is the captain and standing in front is the world’s most aggressive Test team – England. Will Karun be able to show his old glow? The eyes of crores of fans are on him.
Both teams with full force
India have launched three experts fast bowlers – Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and famous Krishna. Ravindra Jadeja Spin and Shardul Thakur are playing as all -rounders. England have also fielded their dangerous bowlers, including names like Chris Woakes and Josh Tung.
Pain hidden in black bandage
The series started with a emotional moment. In order to pay tribute to those killed in the Air India accident in Ahmedabad, the players of both teams tied a black band and landed on the ground. The game will continue to go on, winning will continue, but the importance of life reminded everyone.
Now next step – history composition or incomplete story
This is not just a Test match for India, but is a chance to create its new identity. Shubman Gill has taken the first step as captain. Sai Sudarshan is the first time on the stage where an innings can make the player great. This is a chance for Karun Nair to write a career again. And the clock to create history for Team India. Will Gill’s army be able to respond to England’s unmatched aggression or will India once again have to taste defeat in England? The next 45 days will answer this question and perhaps a new cricketing hero to India.
