Team India batter Virat Kohli reportedly hosted a few players from the squad ahead of the opening Test against England on June 20 at the Headingley in Leeds. According to a report by Revsportz, the likes of Shubman Gill, Mohammed Siraj and Rishabh Pant were present among others at Kohli's house in London.
There have been various reports emerging since last year that the 36-year-old will be moving to London with his family once he retires from all forms of cricket. He has also been spotted in London on quite a few occasions. Kohli has already retired from T20Is and Tests but is likely targeting representing India in the 2027 World Cup to sign off his career on a high.
The Delhi-born cricketer, who announced his Test retirement on May 12 with an emotional Instagram post, shocked the cricketing fraternity with the news. He retired as the most successful Indian Test skipper, registering 40 wins in 68 Tests, including helping the national team to their first series victory in Australia.
Team India's Test squad for England:
Shubman Gill (C), Rishabh Pant (VC & WK), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.
The Asian Giants are targeting their first Test series victory on English soil since 2007.
