1st Test: India vs England - Probable playing XI for India 

SPINNERS

#8 Ravichandran Ashwin

Apart from being India's most successful bowler among the chosen pack in the longer format of the game, Ashwin is also a very handy batsman who has a good technique and can build partnerships.

He has 4 test centuries and 11 fifties, which speak volumes about his quality and caliber as a test batsman. He can do wonders for India, as he has been doing over the years, picking frequent 5 wicket hauls and also contributing with the bat.

#9 Kuldeep Yadav

One of the most talented and skillful spinners, Kuldeep has lots to offer. He can bowl the regular chinaman, the wrong-un or googly as well as the flipper quite comfortably. However, his strength and secret to success have been bowling his stock delivery consistently and always looking to pick wickets.

With a fantastic 4-wicket haul on his debut, and a leading contributor to India's home series victory against Australia in 2017, on top of that, the heroics in the first T20I against England and the first ODI, scalping 5 and 6 wickets respectively, Kuldeep has the ability to end up as one of the greats to have played the game.
