“For India, Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli will be the key players. They are the big names and it is never easy to play against them. If Kohli plays with the same freedom that Joe Root is playing with right now, we all are in for a treat. Virat is a wonderful player. If Bumrah gets his line and length right with the Dukes ball, he is unplayable,” Swann told Times of India.
With Rohit Sharma out of the game, Jasprit Bumrah will be the skipper in the fifth test, scheduled to take place in Edgbaston. Bumrah will become India’s first fast bowling skipper in 35 years. The last Indian pacer to lead India was the legendary Kapil Dev back in 1987.

IND vs ENG 5th Test in Edgbaston
- Rohit Sharma is ruled out of the game after testing positive to Covid.
- Jasprit Bumrah will lead the Indiansquad. He becomes the first fast bowler to lead India after Kapil Dev in 1987.
- India currently leads the series 2-1. The fifth test has been rescheduled after Covid broke out in the Indian squad last year.
India currently leads the series 2-1 with one test ending as a draw in India. The fifth match was then rescheduled owing to a breakout in the India camp. England test endured quite high and lows since then. After a shameful loss at the hands of Australia in Ashesh 2022, new skipper Ben Stokes started his tenure in fantastic fashion.

England star batter Joe Root has been incredible form since last season. In recent times he managed to score 396 runs in 6 innings against New Zealand. The top batter has hit two centuries and has a current average of 99.
“It is quite simple for England, it will be Joe Root and Ben Stokes. If they continue their form, the way they are playing this summer, England will do well. Ben Stokes is leading from the front. He is a natural leader. He enjoys it when the crowd is involved. He is getting confidence from his players. Joe Root is thriving and batting at his absolute best.” Swann told Times of India.
“I am backing England. England are in a very good position and I would say they are slight favourites,” Swann added.
India has a relatively poor record in England. they have won just three-test series in England. The last time India won a Test series in England was back in 2007.
