A look at the Test record of Team India's squad in England ahead of ENG vs IND 2025 series ft. Rishabh Pant    

Team India are all set to play five Tests in England as part of the 2025-27 World Test Championship (WTC) from June 20 to August 4. The first Test will be played at Headingley, while the subsequent four matches will be held at Edgbaston, Lord's, Old Trafford, and The Oval.

The visitors will be led by a new captain in Shubman Gill, who has taken over from Rohit Sharma after the latter's Test retirement. Team India's wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has been named as his deputy. India will also be without the services of Virat Kohli in England, who has also retired from the red-ball format. Further, senior pacer Mohammad Shami was not picked due to fitness issues.

India will be heading into the Test series against England with a relatively inexperienced squad. Ahead of the five-match series, we look at how the players have performed in Test matches in England.

Shubman Gill

New Indian Test captain Gill will have a point to prove during the upcoming series in England. In three matches (six innings) in the country, he has managed only 88 runs at an average of 14.66, with a best of 28.

He had poor outings in the 2021 and 2023 WTC finals and in the 2022 Test against England in Birmingham. Significantly, Gill struggled during the 2024-25 tour of Australia as well.

KL Rahul

KL Rahul will have a key role to play with the bat in England in the absence of Rohit and Kohli. The 33-year-old has a reasonably good record in England. In nine matches (18 innings), he has scored 614 runs at an average of 34.11, with two hundreds and a fifty. Rahul scored 149 at The Oval in 2018 and a match-winning 129 at Lord's in 2021.

With the ball, the left-arm spinner has picked up 27 wickets at an average of 43.48. Jadeja's best of 4-79 came at The Oval during the 2018 tour.
