Familiar rivals in unfamiliar territory: India v England series preview
Manage episode 283662462 series 2703051
We preview the upcoming India v England Test series which comes on the back of an epic series win for India in Australia, and a very impressive win for England in Sri Lanka. While the teams prepare for fresh challenges in Chennai and Ahmedabad, they still have to contend with bio-bubbles, quarantines, injuries, and player rotation.
Talking Points
- Context of the India-England rivalry over the years
- The difference between perception of England's performances in India vs their relatively impressive record
- Covid impact on the series - bubbles, scheduling, grounds, player fitness
- Unknowns around the pitches. Just two Tests in Chennai in the last decade. Revamped Motera.
- England's choice to rotate and rest players for a key series - what message does it convey and how could it affect the quality of their cricket?
- How much should one read into England's 2-0 win in Sri Lanka?
- How hard will it be for for India - both physically and mentally - to move on from such an epic series win in Australia?
- Ashwin's fitness concerns, and England largely finding a way to tackle him home and away
- How much would India miss Mohammad Shami and Ravindra Jadeja?
- Possible team combinations for both teams
- Would the standings in the World Test Championship have a say?
- Predictions
