He has presented his side regarding the playing XI of the Indian team of the first Test match. These matches are to be played in the leads. Many great players have been included in the Indian team, who can be seen performing well in this Test series. Ravi Shastri has chosen a debutant on number three in his potential playing XI.

Ravi Shastri chose Indian playing xi
Ravi Shastri, along with Crystal Arnold at The ICC Review, said, ‘I will choose Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul as openers. This is going to be a big tour for Rahul. He is the most experienced batsman of this team. He also opened the last time when India visited England and scored a century here. Now once again they have to bat well. After this, at number three, I would like to see Sai Sudarshan playing. I have been very impressed by his performance.
Ravi Shastri further said, ‘The new Test captain can be seen batting at number four. His role is also going to be very important in this series. Shubman Gill has played 32 Test matches for Team India. At this time Karun Nair is in very good form and I want to see him batting at number five. On number 6, Rishabh Pant can be seen playing aggressive cricket. Nair has worked hard and he has scored continuously in domestic cricket. Jadeja can be seen playing at number seven. I will definitely take them in my team. Later, I would like to see Shardul Thakur batting at number 8 and three fast bowlers will be my Mohammad Siraj, Jaspreet Bumrah and famous Krishna.
Ravi Shastri also said about Arshdeep Singh
Ravi Shastri believes that the weather in Leeds can prove to be helpful for the bowlers and Arshdeep Singh can prove to be very fatal here. According to him, the air in the leads will be very strong and Arshdeep Singh will be helped there because he is a left -handed fast bowler. He said that Siraj and Bumrah will be his two main fast bowlers and one of the famous Krishna or Arshdeep Singh can be seen playing in this match.
According to Ravi Shastri, Abhimanyu Ishwar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Dhruv Jurail, Akash Deep and Kuldeep Yadav will not be seen playing in the first Test match. Ravi Shastri has said that in the famous Krishna or Arshdeep Singh, any one will get a chance to play in the Indian playing XI of the first Test.
