With Iyer and Pant in the Test team, Surya, who is making a comeback from a wrist injury, and Samson, who is looking to make use of what could be his last chance to prove his worth, will be sure-shot starters.
Pacer Mohammed Shami has given India a bright start on Day 2 of the ongoing four-day tour game against Leicestershire at the Uptonsteel Cricket Ground.

After India were five-down in Leicester, the former India captain struck a 50-plus stand with KS Bharat. He was confident with his strokes. He hit four fours and one six. It looked like Kohli was poised for a big score in the match. However, it was not to be.
