India's recent performance in Test cricket has not been up to the mark. After getting whitewashed at the hands of New Zealand, they also lost to Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy and thus crashed out of the World Test Championship.

A month after his poor form forced Rohit Sharma to drop himself from a test match in Sydney, the India captain can finally breathe easy after producing a faith-restoring hundred in Sunday's second one-day international against England.

India are yet to finalise their Champions Trophy as they sweat over their spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's fitness. India have done well without Bumrah in the first couple of matches against England in the ongoing ODI series but both the pacers Mohammed Shami and Harshit Rana have been expensive so far.
