IND vs ENG: Will Virat Kohli Lead The Test Match In Absence Of Rohit Sharma?

The final Test match against India and England is the first match for Rohit Sharma as a full-time captain in an overseas Test. Given that India leads the five-match Test series 2-1, the final Test match will be crucial for both teams. For this crucial game, all eyes are on Rohit Sharma and the Indian team. But, there is a big blow for the Indian team as the skipper has tested positive for Covid.
