The former Indian pacer Irfan Pathan believes that the out-of-form duo of Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer should feature in the playing XI, especially in the absence of Virat Kohli, for the second Test against England. After a torrid tour of South Africa, Gill and Iyer struggled in the series opener against England as they totaled 23 and 48 runs respectively. While Patidar was originally part of the Indian squad for the first two Tests as Virat Kohli's replacement, Sarfaraz was recently drafted in for the injured KL Rahul.
