India Vs England head to head records
The four-match Test series between India and England begins on Friday (February 5) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Earlier, the BCCI announced the Indian team. But the playing XI for the first Test has not been announced yet. So, everyone is curious about what the 'Virat Sena' will be like in this match. On the other hand, it is difficult for England to defeat India.The figures give testimony
If we look at the first match going to be held at Chepauk Stadium in Chennai, India's pan is looking heavy. The statistics testify that the England team in Chennai can kneel before India. A total of 9 Test matches have taken place on this ground between the two teams.
Out of these 5 matches, the host Indian team has won, while England has won only 3 matches, while there was a draw which was played in 1982. Not only this, India has played 32 matches so far in Chennai, in which they have won 14 and lost only 6, while 11 matches have been drawn and 1 tie. These figures are enough to frighten the 'British'.
India Did not lose after 1999
The special thing is that the Indian team has not lost a match at home since 1999. Now it remains to be seen whether the England team can break the Ajay order running in India's home or not. The last time India lost to Pakistan here. In a match held in January 1999, Pakistan defeated India by 12 runs, but after this match, India played 8 matches here, in which they won 5 and drew 3 matches.
Can send Gill to the opening
From the Indian team, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill can be seen batting for the opener. Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara will bat at number three. Captain Virat Kohli and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane will bat at number four and five respectively. Also, after all, five leading batsmen were dismissed, Rishabh Pant has the ability to give the team a good ending.
With the same, Pant could be sent to bat at number six. He will also be responsible for wicket keeping. Young Washington handsome and veteran cricketer R Ashwin will be included in the team in an all-round role.
Fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Chinaman Kuldeep can make it to the final 11-man squad. Given Mohammed Siraj's performance in the last Test series, captain Virat may consider giving him a chance. But with experience, Ishant Sharma is likely to get a place in the playing XI.
India's probable playing eleven
Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant, Akshar Patel, R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Ishant Sharma / Mohammad Siraj and Jaspreet Bumrah
