                     "India's batting talent is one to be envied" - Ian Chappell 
 
Former Australia captain Ian Chappell said that Team India currently have the best batting talent around the world. He again shared that he is  
envious of the number of batsmen they have in their kitty.

Chappell further stated that India makes players with traditional techniques and give them with enough opportunities at the first-class level as 
well. The veteran has explained that the importance of depth amid this COVID-19 era as well.  
Writing in his column for ESPNCricinfo, Chappell shared: "It has become abundantly clear during this pandemic-ravaged era that one of the 
prized ingredients in a cricket squad is depth. When it comes to batting talent, India are best placed of all the teams. Their development 
system, which produces players with 'traditional techniques' and provides ample opportunities at first-class level, is one to be envied." 
Team India, however, has two teams on two different places right now where the main team is in England preparing for a five-match Test 
series against the host and the other one is in Sri Lanka to play the limited-overs series against the hosts as well. 
Meanwhile, Indian players are currently struggling as the camp has been hit by the COVID-19 virus with the likes of Rishabh Pant, Abhimanyu 
Easwaran and Wriddhiman Saha in isolation now. While Pant has been tested positive for COVID-19 a few days back, Saha and Easwaran came 
in close contacts of Dayanand Garani (net/assistant bowler), who recently has also been tested positive. 
Apart from that, they have hit by the injuries also as their opener Shubman Gill set to miss the first few Tests due to a stress-related injury in 
his leg as well. Ian Chappell, however, believes India's bench strength will be stretched as there might be more positive cases as well. 
"The extent of India's reserves will be fully tested on the England tour as they have already had to react to isolation requirements and they 
haven't even played a warm-up game. Just another example of why modern cricket teams consider depth king," he further added.

However, India last won a Test series in England in 2007, and since then they failed to win one as well. In 2018, India lost the series by 4-1 as 
well.
