\"Let our 1983 triumph be the inspiration for them. The most important thing for the team is to have faith in themselves. It\u2019s quite a competent team. Let\u2019s not forget that when we defeated Australia in the 2020-21 series, it was a half-strength team without Kohli after the first Test,\" Kirmani told Telecom Asia Sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The five-match series will be played for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, named in honour of two of the game's greatest legends - James Anderson and Sachin Tendulkar. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
With English conditions known for testing even the most seasoned of cricketers, Gill\u2019s leadership debut will be one to look out for, especially in the absence of veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who announced their Test retirements last month. India have not won a Test series in England since 2007. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"There\u2019s no denying that both Virat and Rohit were role models. It\u2019s impossible to replace them overnight, especially given how difficult it is to adjust to English conditions on a first tour. But we have a number of players with experience against England, including captain Gill and KL Rahul,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
