Divya Delhi: An remarkable 14-year career in Test cricket ended with the retirement of “Legendary” Virat Kohli. Team India must replace a top player before the June 20, 2025 5-match series versus England. Recently, RCB skipper Rajat Patidar has stood out for his leadership and middle-order batting. Patidar might replace Virat Kohli in the middle order with a strong domestic record and promising Test debut. The rise of Shreyas Iyer has boosted Team India's FTP initiative. Iyer became a forceful middle-order batter in all forms by overcoming his short-ball weakness. Iyer was crucial to India winning Champions Trophy 2025. After Virat Kohli withdrew from Test cricket, Iyer may play against England in the forthcoming visit. Sarfaraz Khan's consistency and pressure-handling make him appealing. He scored tons of runs in domestic cricket to qualify for the longest format. He played some terrific Tests for Team India and is perhaps the only one who can replace Kohli.
