A series of 5 test matches will be played between India and England. This test series starts on January 25th. The Indian team will take part with the intention of continuing the winning streak. At the same time, the English team wants to end the 12-year drought on Indian soil. In fact, the last time England won the Test series on Indian soil was in 2012. Will England's batsmen continue to play 'baseball' against Team India's spinners in this series? However, today we will try to find answers to all important questions.
So far, India and England have faced each other 131 times in the Test format. England have won 50 games. At the same time, Team India defeated England in 31 games. In addition, 50 tests were drawn. In this way, the statistics show that England had the upper hand in Test matches against India, but the situation has changed in recent years. The English team in particular is longing for a victory on Indian soil, but the drought of almost 12 years is not over yet.
The English had problems in Test matches on Indian soil. Statistics also confirm this. To date, the teams of India and England have faced each other on Indian soil 64 times. In which Team India won 22 games. At the same time, England defeated the Indian team in 14 matches. In addition, 28 tests were drawn. Thus, the statistics show that it will not be easy for the British to win the Test on Indian soil. Team India's spinners in particular will cause big problems for the English batsmen. However, it will be interesting to see if the English team continues to play in the “baseball” style or changes their strategy?
