The five-match Test series between India and England is scheduled to begin on January 25. The first match of this Test series is scheduled to be played in Hyderabad. All eyes are on the Hyderabad pitch. Meanwhile, Team India head coach Rahul Dravid has made big claims about the pitch in Hyderabad.
Ahead of the India-England Test series, head coach Rahul Dravid said it was difficult to say anything about the pitch at the moment. We'll find out when the game starts. From what I've seen, this place looks good. The spinners will take their turn from the pitch. I can't say anything at the moment about how soon and how quickly. As the game progresses, the ball will definitely come.
On the other hand, England fast bowler Mark Wood admitted that his team also discussed the pitch. He said we discussed the pitch. We're not too worried about it. There is so much trust in our group that we can do something special. We have spinners, we have fast bowlers, we have good batsmen and our performance has been very good lately. This will be quite difficult. Because we are not used to playing on such pitches. We have to find a way to do this.
