3 players who can be a surprise inclusion in India’s Test squad against England

#3 Deepak Chahar

In the recent past, India has witnessed a surge of young fast bowlers moving higher up the ranks at the domestic levels. It is a peculiar situation witnessed like never before with so much fast bowling talent coming to the fore in the India domestic circuit.

Many of them have made the heads turn towards them by producing some notable performances in the domestic games for their state teams. The list features the impressive likes of Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Siani, Avesh Khan, Rajneesh Gurbani and many more.

Deepak Chahar, who did wonders for the men in yellow as their opening bowler in the IPL was recently handed his India T20I debut. Chahar, with his performances for India A side has presented a strong case for his selection even in the longest format of the game. His ability to swing the ball and bowl an accurate line and length makes him a viable option in English conditions.

His maiden Test call-up can be viewed as a possible backup for Jasprit Bumrah, who is recovering from his thumb injury. If the Indian speedster fails to recover on time, then selectors might fancy roping in Chahar given his skills that can assist his cause in such conditions.
