India's 2-1 Test series win in Australia in 2020-21 remains one of the major milestones in the country's cricket history. It was not just about the victory but also the way the Ajinkya Rahane-led Team India made a glorious comeback in that series. After the Virat Kohli-led India lost the first Test, the then India captain returned home for the birth of his child. Rahane took over as the stand-in captain and led the team to a brilliant win. India won the second Test in Melbourne and then drew the third Test in Sydney. Despite the absence of several senior players, India won the series decider in Brisbane.

England begin their journey in Test cricket under new captain Ben Stokes and new head coach Brendon McCullum against New Zealand on Thursday as the two teams meet in the first Test at Lord's in London. The Three Lions are looking to come out of a major slump in cricket's longest format, which eventually led to a change of guard as long time captain Joe Root stepped down post losses to Australia and West Indies.
Trent Boult’s last-minute arrival from the Indian Premier League means he may have to sacrifice an appearance at Lord’s this week, but New Zealand captain Kane Williamson insists his side are full of Test match “purists”.
