The stage is set for a thrilling cricket series between India and England. With Rohit Sharma and R Ashwin retired from Test cricket, young batsman Shubman Gill is ready to lead the team in his first Test series as captain. The five-match series kicks off on June 20, with matches scheduled at Headingley, Edgbaston, Lord’s, Manchester, and Kennington Oval.
One major change this time around is the live telecast and streaming platform. Fans won’t be able to catch the series on Star Sports, as the broadcasting rights have been shifted to Sony Sports Network. However, Jio Hotstar App will still offer live streaming of all matches, providing fans with uninterrupted access to the action.
The schedule is packed, with the first match starting on June 20 at Headingley, followed by matches on July 2 at Edgbaston, July 10 at Lord’s, July 23 at Manchester, and the final match on July 31 at Kennington Oval. This series is extra special for Shubman Gill, as he takes the reins of the Test team for the first time. England’s pitches are known for being challenging, and fans have high hopes for the young captain and his team.
As the series unfolds, it will be fascinating to see how Gill strategizes to take on the English team on their home turf. With a mix of experienced players and new talent, the Indian team is looking to make a mark in this iconic series. Will Gill’s leadership be the key to success, or will the English team prove too strong to beat? The cricket world is eagerly waiting to find out.
