Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, who did not play the last Test against England, were included in the final XI. Jadeja was out with a shoulder injury during the home Test series against England earlier this year while Jasprit Bumrah was released from the squad ahead of the last match of the four-game series as he was set to tie the knot with sports presenter Sanjana Ganesan.    For the opening slot, Shubman Gill, who did well in the intra-squad match at The Ageas Bowl in Southampton, was named Rohit Sharma's partner at the top of the order. The openers will be followed by Cheteshar Pujara, captain Virat Kohli and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane as was expected.
