With Kohli and Rohit retired, the young batters will look up to the experienced duo in the five-Test series
MUMBAI: Going into the England Test series starting at Leeds on June 20, India's biggest concern will be over how the Shubman Gill-led side will cope after the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Who will step up in the batting line-up?
It's a place which demands a lot of acclimatisation by the batters. When the sun plays hide-and-seek, on most days in England one is facing the moving ball in the cold and gloom.
The two India A unofficial Tests against England Lions would have helped ease some nerves in the Indian camp. After Karun Nair's double century in the first game, KL Rahul hit a stylish century on Day 1 of the second game in Northampton on Friday.
Dilip Vengsarkar knows what it takes to do well in England, having scored three centuries at Lord's, cricket's spiritual home.

This Yami-Emraan starrer is a powerful reminder that justice is not just a legal word
The most affecting moment in Haq for me was a voiceover: “Biwi ka asli matlab kya hai?” It’s a deceptively simple question that lingers, prompting us to rethink the everyday words we use so casually that, in our holy texts and legal system, might carry entirely different weights.
