IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction for today’s 1st Test Match, Playing XI, Captain and Vice-Captain Picks

The 25^th of January will be the beginning of much much-awaited India vs England Test series with the 1^st Test happening at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium in Hyderabad. It will be the mighty Indians vs the fearless Englishmen. The Indians will look to prepare against the famous Bazball tactic which has been a nightmare for every international team so far. The amount of hype for this upcoming series is not surprising considering the history between the two sides that go back a long way. The rivalry will continue once again with the majority of Indian fans in the stands who will be hoping for a great contest.

The key players of the hosts will be skipper Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin, where Rohit will look to play his style of fearless cricket at the top and Ashwin will be the key bowler to go through this dangerous batting lineup. These two players will look to dominate the visitors and will not hold back against them even slightly. The Indians are known to be dominant at home and they will want to prove every inch of that against this English side.

England will have their Achilles heel to this Indian side with the likes of Joe Root and Jack Leach in the side. Root is no doubt one of the best batters for England and one of the best players of spin in the squad, whereas Leach enjoyed a great series in the subcontinent last time these two teams went head-to-head. This will however be a test for both of them as the Indians do not only have a strong spin attack, but a lethal pace attack as well.

IND vs Eng – Pitch report

The Hyderabad wicket if compared to any other Indian wicket has been a batting paradise where big runs are scored by the batters. There is not much  grip and turn on this track compared to the other grounds, but the bowlers are not completely out of the game since the pacers do get a bit of bounce off this hard surface. This game looks like it is set to be a high-scoring game, where the right decision would be to bat first and set a big total. The pitch should get some cracks in the last few days for the bowlers to dominate the batters completely. Overall, we are ready for the contest between the two sides who will have some powerful batters in their ranks.
