Surprise Return of Jasprit Bumrah
One of the biggest talking points of the squad announcement was the inclusion of Jasprit Bumrah. The star pacer had been sidelined due to injury for an extended period but has now made a surprise return to the Indian Test team. His inclusion will significantly bolster India's bowling attack.
Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant Back in Action
Another notable return in the squad is that of Virat Kohli. The former Indian captain, who missed the England Test series due to the birth of his son, is back in the team. Kohli's experience and batting prowess will be invaluable to India's chances of success.
Rishabh Pant, the hero of India's historic win at the Gabba in 2021, is also making a comeback after a long absence due to a car accident. Pant's presence behind the stumps will be a significant boost for the Indian team.
Yash Dayal Gets Maiden Call-Up
Left-arm seamer Yash Dayal has earned a maiden call-up to the Indian Test squad. Dayal impressed with his performances in the Duleep Trophy and has been rewarded with a chance to showcase his skills at the highest level.

The ultimate goal for India will be to perform well in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
