England vs India 2018: Four dark horses who could be named in India's Test squad to face England

Vijay Shankar

All-rounder Vijay Shankar, who made his national debut in the 2018 Nidahas Trophy, is yet another candidate who can be a dark horse to be picked in the Indian Test team for the tour of England.

Vijay, like Hardik Pandya, is an all-rounder, who is more reliable than Hardik with the bat, which is evident from his first-class batting average of nearly 50 in 32 matches. With the ball, he has every quality that a pacer needs to do well in England.

Along with Hardik, Vijay will give the team management a lot of options ahead of the Test matches.
