Team India will try to make an impact on their forthcoming trip to England in the long series of five Tests. Both countries commenced their fight in the longer version of the game way back in 1932 in England and the last series was played in 2012-13 that was hosted by India. The two nations have played 107 Test, England has won 40 and India was successful in 20 while 47 of them ended in a draw. The Englishmen beat India in two previous series, 4-0 in England in 2011and 2-1 when they visited the rival country in 2012-13. The visitors will be without the services of their two great batsmen, the little master Sachin Tendulkar, and Rahul Dravid, and it will be a Test for the young guns.

  1. You know what, despite the fact that England has been condemned to be at their lowest level in recent era they still have got some strength to outsmart Indian chokers who always choke on fast pitches without fail. This is the reason why England are bookies' favourite. Indians don't have enough firepower to challenge weak English batting lineup whereas English bowlers can always bowl out India at any given day. So guys put your money always on England.
