India Vs England Cricket Team

India and England is one of the most captivating rivalries in international cricket, and this article will look back over their history and discuss some of their most memorable games.

R Ashwin and Jonny Bairstow will look to achieve 100 Test appearances, while James Anderson stands just two wickets shy of reaching 700 wickets overall in Test cricket. In this article, we will discuss about the top matches of India vs England.

India’s XI

India and England enjoy one of the fiercest rivalries in cricket history, having met 252 Test matches since cricket first started. These contests have taken place at various venues that favor spin bowling; both sides hope to strengthen their spin attacks during this series.

Ravindra Jadeja will play an essential part in this series as an all-rounder who can contribute with bat, ball, and fielding in any format imaginable – not to mention being just 25 wickets shy of reaching 300 tests!

He makes an ideal selection as India’s number seven batsman, as his ability to score runs even in tough situations will prove beneficial to their side. Furthermore, his experience behind the stumps will provide India with another solid option behind their wicket. In addition, they may wish to consider adding fast bowler Dhruv Jurel or paceman Akash Deep as alternative additions.

England’s XI

England’s batting remains their main problem, and Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow must step up if England are to prevail in this series.

Southgate has given his side permission to remain, yet they should make some tweaks in terms of team structure and tactics. Bukayo Saka should continue in his role in central midfield while Kobbie Mainoo and Anthony Gordon could receive rewards for their second-half cameo performances against Slovenia.

Sam Curran should also be recognised for his impressive T20 World Cup performances as a bowling all-rounder; his bowling all-round skills could add extra impetus to England’s attack. Finally, an injured Ben Stokes can provide stability and leadership to the middle order; Hardik Pandya may not have seen as much action this tournament but his all-round skills should carry him through this difficult patch; Ravindra Jadeja’s bat form may cause concern but cannot be underestimated due to his vast experience and fielding ability despite concerns; yet experience cannot be underestimated either!

India’s bowlers

The opening Test between India and England promises to be an intriguing encounter between their respective home dominances and England’s unconventional approach to the game. Even without Jofra Archer due to an injury issue, England have shown them they remain formidable on this turn-prone pitch.

Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja have taken to the crease. Axar is a spinner with pace and variations who catches a few runs before being bowled by Jofra Archer.

Jadeja pushes one wide while Crawley misjudges the turn, nicking behind for two runs. Bumrah takes control and follows with another maiden while constantly altering length.

Moeen Ali’s leg stump was knocked away by Bumrah while trying to hit it down the ground, followed by Jos Buttler pulling Arshdeep for one run to straight long-on. That marked England’s 50 partnership. However, England have become fatigued against India’s relentless attacks; therefore they need wickets early in the morning session in order to prevent an Indian rampage and avoid further batterings.

England’s bowlers

England are in with a chance of saving this Test after an excellent start by Duckett, some fantastic hitting by Bairstow and Hartley and some miserly overs from Root – though they must improve with the ball to do so.

England are faced with the challenging task of trying to contain India’s formidable top order batting which boasts of players capable of dominating any bowling side. Unfortunately, England lack sufficient bowling options available to them that can keep pace with India.

As they’re without specialist fast bowler Jimmy Anderson and have only two spinners who could actually be considered genuine spinners, as well as Jofra Archer who can contribute with bat, they must rely on inexperienced part-timers like Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir who entered this series with one previous Test cap each – forcing them into playing more overs with inexperienced bowling attacks that often prove costly for opponents.

India’s batting

India has demonstrated their power on this surface with two innings totalling 524 runs in their first two innings; but England have struggled to adapt to its pace and bounce, leaving them reeling at 122-6 at Dharamsala on day four.

Kuldeep Yadav’s opening 15-over spell of wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav was an absolute treat, as the wrist spinner displayed unerring control, arcing flight, and subtle variations to attack England. Ollie Pope was caught charging at a googly when Shubman Gill ran back from cover and caught him out at second slip by Shubman Gill running back from cover.

England’s batting has been dismal throughout this series, with only Jos Buttler scoring over 20 runs for the tourists. Their only chance of saving an embarrassing defeat against India lies with their tail, although even then CricViz gives them just a 5% win predictor chance.

England’s batting

England’s young players face an uphill challenge with their batting in sub-continent pitches that provide turn and bounce. Their attacking intent and bold strokes may come under scrutiny on subcontinent pitches that provide both turn and bounce.

Jos Buttler, who replaced Alastair Cook, is in fantastic form and deserves credit for leading England back into contention against South Africa and West Indies. However, his batting partner Alex Hales must improve his technique against spin bowlers.

Foakes throws down the stumps in an attempt to run out Sarfaraz Ahmed but is unsuccessful. There are various angles of view of what happened and replays will be carefully examined when play resumes.
