Without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, India's batting line-up will be tested in tough conditions in England. The five-match Test series between India and England is all set to commence on June 20. Ahead of the series, let us have a look at the Test rankings of Indian batters.
In the lead-up to the five-match Test series against England, Yashasvi Jaiswal is the top-ranked Indian batter. He is ranked 4th in the latest update with 847 rating points. There is only 41-point gap between him and Joe Root who is sitting on top of the rankings. A good series for Jaiswal can see him climb the ladder in this series.

India's new vice-captain in Tests, Rishabh Pant is ranked 9th in the latest ICC Test rankings. His last Test innings was the one to remember at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney against Australia. Pant tends to grab eyeballs with his style of play in the whites and India will need his antics with the bat more in the upcoming five-match series against England.

India's Test captain Shubman Gill will be under a huge pressure. This is his first Test series as captain and along with the leadership, he will have to be at his best with the bat as well. His Test average is in the mid-30s and needs to improve a lot. A good Test series in England will boost Gill's confidence a lot. As far as his ranking is concerned, India's Test skipper is ranked 24th in the format with 631 rating points.

KL Rahul is one of the most experienced players in the Indian Test squad for the England tour. He had a great time in the UK last time around and should score a lot of runs in the absence of Rohit and Kohli. But his current ICC Test ranking is not encouraging. Rahul, in the latest update, is ranked 47th with 533 rating points.
