India will play the rescheduled test in leadership of a new captain

In the rescheduled 5th test match against England, Jasprit Bumrah will lead the Indian team because Rohit Sharma was tested corona positive. He will become the first pacer after Kapil Dev to lead India.
Apart from Rohit Sharma, English wicket-keeper Ben Foakes was also tested positive, so he will also miss this match. In the five match series, India won the 2nd and 4th test and are leading the series by 2-1. This is a must win game for England to draw the series.
In first four matches of this series in 2021, Bumrah's performance was outstanding, he took 18 wickets at the average of 20.83. India will also miss Rohit Sharma as a batter because he is the leading run scorer from India in this series.
