India will be hoping that the skipper recovers in time for the crucial encounter as he was exceptional with the bat during the side's England tour last year. With 368 runs from four games at an average of 52.57, he was the leading run-scorer for the visitors.
India add Mayank Agarwal as Rohit Sharma's cover
Meanwhile, India have added opening batter Mayank Agarwal as a backup for the Indian captain. The right-hander left for England on Monday (June 27) and will be available for selection for the Test as he will not have to undergo any quarentine, as per the new rules of the government.
NEWS - Mayank Agarwal added to Indiaโs Test squad as a cover for captain Rohit Sharma, who tested positive for COVID-19.

The first four fixtures of the five-match series took place last year. The fifth and final Test had to be postponed because of a COVID-19 outbreak in the Indian contingent.
India have a 2-1 lead in the rubber, which makes the rescheduled Test a must-win one for England.
