Check out all the details related to India vs England 1st Test match which will be played in Hyderabad.
As Rohit Sharma's squad gears up for the opening match of a captivating five-Test series against England, India's unparalleled success on home soil over the past 12 years faces an exceptional challenge. Throughout this period, India has lost a mere three Tests out of 44 played at home, surpassing the dominance of the West Indies in the '80s and Australia at the turn of the century.
The team's success is attributed to various factors, including favorable pitches, adept bowlers, and prolific batsmen who have consistently scored runs.
Central to India's home triumphs are the outstanding performances of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja. As the series kicks off at the RGI Stadium, where the pitch is anticipated to offer turn and grip, the Ash-Jaddu duo is set to play a crucial role. Despite India's impressive track record, Test cricket's unpredictable nature has the potential to produce extraordinary spectacles.
The question looms: Will Hyderabad witness another routine Indian victory, or will it unveil an unexpected twist? The anticipation builds.
