Gill to use Virat and Rohit blueprint on England tour
Hindustan Times Noida

They've shown us how to tour overseas and win. Yes, execution matters, but because of their blueprint, we know how to prepare and perform in tough conditions SHUBMAN GILL, Test captain
NEW DELHI: A Test tour of England in the last decade and a half has become India's own 'Final Frontier'. While the team under Virat Kohli broke fresh ground in Australia with India's first Test victory in 2018-19, and repeated it in sensational fashion the next trip in 2020-21, a victory has eluded them since the 1-0 result in 2007.
After three defeats in a row, in 2011, 2014 and 2018, where India's batters couldn't counter seam and swing bowling led by James Anderson, the last trip — split due to Covid positives in the camp — finished 2-all. The big question this time is how a squad missing Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will shape up in the five-Test series starting at Leeds on June 20, all eyes will be on the youngster anointed the new skipper.
