Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad will host the first test of India vs England test series 2024. A fierce struggle is expected to result from the two titans’ five-match Test series. Ben Stokes’ England arrived in India relatively early in the crucial series.
India has an extremely impressive record in this area. At Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, the Indian side has not lost in red ball cricket thus far.
At the Hyderabad venue, Team India has played five Test matches and won four of them thus far. A match has been drawn.
However, England has not yet participated in a Test match at this location. England will play their first Test in Hyderabad for the first time. Can England’s batsmen stand up to India’s spinners?
For the past twelve years, India has not even lost a Test series at home.
Against every opponent, the Indian team has demonstrated superiority. But the last team to triumph in the Test series at home against India was England. Thus, it is anticipated that this encounter will be fairly difficult.
When he stated that the first Test pitch would favor the spinners in the match, India’s head coach Rahul Dravid issued a mild caution to the England camp.
We have ample time to get the pitch ready. On condition of anonymity, an HCA official told PTI that while assistance will be provided for both bowlers and batsmen as the game goes on, “I think these players are experienced enough to apply themselves and make runs.”
Following a 1-1 series loss in South Africa earlier this month, India enters the series with confidence, while England is participating in their first Test match since a 2-2 Ashes draw with Australia in June and July of 2023.
The venue in Hyderabad, which has hosted five Test matches so far, will see India vs England first Test match. The home team has won four of the matches and drawn one.
Pitch report for the India vs England first test match :
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium has a batting-friendly surface. Despite the trend of Indian pitches favoring spinners, Hyderabad’s surface lets hitters score large runs. The Hyderabad pitch for the first Test matchup with England could be spin-friendly. Remarkably, the good-length sections designated for the spinners at each end seemed to be drier than the surrounding surface two days prior to the Test’s commencement.
Here, the first innings is the ideal time to bat because the average score in the first innings is 405. Here in the fourth inning, chasing is quite challenging. Only once has a side been able to successfully chase in the five matches that have taken place here. That, too, was a fourth-inning aim of just 72 runs.
The bowling of Ravindra Jadeja will instill further dread in the England camp. Jadeja Ravindra is a spinner. Delivery is feasible on foot, can complete the task swiftly. Any batter who witnesses his pace manipulation is terrified.
England have a bigger test than the turning delivery, which predicts the ball will turn, but doesn’t. Lets see who will win! India vs England.
