IND vs ENG Test Series 2024: India is the country in the world where cricket is liked the most. Here cricket is considered a religion and the players of this game are given the status of God. No matter how bad the team’s performance is, the dedicated fans of this country never leave their team and players. If the Indian team is playing on its home soil, then nothing else will be visible on the field except the blue jersey. Former England fast bowler Steven Finn also believes this. Cricketer-turned-commentator Finn believes that if England has to repeat the performance of winning the Test series in India in 2012 (IND vs ENG Test Series 2024), then its Indian Premier League (IPL) superstar players should give thrilling performances to their fans. Will have to be made.
Let us tell you that 13 years ago, India had lost the Test series against England by 1-2 and Finn had played in this series. India has won 16 home series since then. Finn said that I think England will benefit from the ‘superstardom’ of some of its players in the IPL. He said that except for Kevin Pietersen, the players in that 2012 team were not really ‘superstars’ in India. Whereas this time some of the players who are going there have played in the IPL and they are superstars. I think this will help. Some of the stars playing in the IPL from the England team include Ben Stokes, Mark Wood, Jonny Bairstow and Harry Brook.
It is noteworthy that the England team will tour India for a five-match Test series under the captaincy of Stokes. This series is important for both the teams in view of the World Test Championship (WTC 2023-25). The first match of the series will be played in Hyderabad (Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad) from 25th January. It is going to be a very difficult challenge for the English team to adjust to the conditions on the one and a half month long Indian tour. The second match of the series between India and England will be played in Visakhapatnam from 2-6 February, the third match in Rajkot from 15-19 February, the fourth match in Ranchi from 23-27 February and the 5th match in Dharamshala from 7-11 March. If the English team has to win the Test series in India after 13 years, then its players will have to perform better in every department of the game.
