Get all the info about India vs England 1st Test to be held in Hyderabad.
As Rohit Sharma’s team prepares for the first match of a five-Test series against England, India’s exceptional home success over the past 12 years faces a tough challenge. India has lost only three home Tests out of 44 played during this time, surpassing the excellence of the West Indies in the ’80s and Australia at the turn of the century.
The team’s achievements are due to factors such as favorable pitches, skilled bowlers, and consistent run-scoring by prolific batsmen.
India’s home success has been fueled by the impressive performances of spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. As the series kicks off at the RGI Stadium, where the pitch is expected to offer turn and grip, the Ash-Jaddu duo is set to play a crucial role. Despite India’s strong track record, Test cricket’s unpredictable nature could create unexpected outcomes.
The question remains: Will Hyderabad see another routine Indian victory, or will it offer a surprising twist? The excitement is building.
