The first Test match between India and England is to be played tomorrow i.e. from 25th January at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The English team has announced its playing eleven for this match, in which three spinners have been included, while James Anderson is not a part of the playing eleven.

In this five-match test series, even though England baseball Played with approach, but Team India is a strong contender to win the series. It is a strong contender also because, in the last 12 years, no team has defeated India on its own soil in red ball cricket. The Men in Blue have won 15 consecutive home Test series since a 1-2 defeat against England in 2012.

India won 38 out of 48 Test matches since 2013

Let us tell you that since 2013, 48 Tests have been played in India, out of which the home team has won 38 matches and lost only 3 matches. Seeing such performance, many veterans believe that India is invincible on home ground. However, captain Rohit Sharma does not agree with this and said that the team will have to play good cricket to defeat England.

Rohit Sharma “I don’t think we are unbeatable,” he said in the pre-match press conference. We do not think so. Whatever our record in the last decade, it does not guarantee that we will be on top in this series. We have to play well to win this series.

On India’s win in the second Test against South Africa in Cape Town earlier this month, Rohit Sharma said, the Cape Town win was good, but this match is in Hyderabad. There are different circumstances here, different opposition team. But yes, that win has given us a lot of confidence and we can take it into the series.
