Indian Cricket Team
India vs England Test Series: A five-Test series is to be played between India and England. The first test match between the two teams will be played from today, January 25, at Hyderabad ground. The captain of the Indian team is Rohit Sharma. Whereas the command of England is in the hands of Ben Stokes. England has already announced the playing eleven for the test match. The England team has given a chance to four spinners in the playing eleven. Now Anil Kumble of the Indian team has said a big thing.
Anil Kumble said this
Anil Kumble said that it will be interesting to see how the visiting team bowls. He said that hence only one fast bowler was kept in the line up. It will be interesting to see how they perform because I certainly thought that when Harry Brook was unavailable they had the option of going with Jonny Bairstow as the wicketkeeper and then they could have brought in another fast bowler. They included Ben Fox which means the team will be with just one fast bowler. We don’t know how much Ben Stokes will bowl. It will be interesting to see how they perform but this bowling line up is quite inexperienced.
‘The series will be full of challenges for the spinners’
Anil Kumble said that the series will be challenging for players like Tom Hartley and Rehan Ahmed. He said that it will be a big challenge for the young spinners, especially Rehan and Hartley, to put pressure on this Indian batting lineup. Kumble said that I cannot predict but I can definitely say that India will win the series. I think given the attitude of these two teams towards Test cricket, five Tests will definitely give results. If there is no problem due to the weather, the results will be out in five tests. I see India registering four wins and England registering one win.
Such is the record of both the teams
So far 131 Test matches have been played between India and England, out of which India has won 31. The England team has won in 50 matches. 50 test matches have been drawn. Team India has won 22 test matches against England on Indian soil. Team India has the upper hand on Indian soil. both teams
