India and England are keenly gearing up for a thrilling five-match Test series against each other, set to unfold on India’s turf from 25th January. There is a lot of anticipation, leading up to the series. The series promises to be churning out high-intensity clashes between two formidable teams in the world of cricket, adding to the excitement. 

Over the past one and a half years, England have maintained the Bazzball approach under the leadership of coach Brendon McCullum and skipper Ben Stokes. The Bazzball approach, named after the aggressive and entertaining New Zealand cricketer Brendon McCullum, emphasises fearless and attacking cricket.

Captain Ben Stokes, known for his indomitable spirit and all-around skills, will look to lead the side with the same passion and vigour. Stokes, who took over the captaincy from Joe Root in 2022, has led with a bold and proactive style. His approach mirrors McCullum's playing style, blending aggression with tactical acumen.

India, on the other hand, are sweating it out in the nets as they gear up to face this rejuvenated English side. India find themselves in a position of strength, being the home team. The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, has displayed remarkable consistency and dominance in recent years. The team boasts a formidable batting lineup, solid bowling options, and exceptional fielding prowess. 

The spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will play a crucial role in India's strategy, especially on home pitches known to assist spinners. The pace attack, led by Jasprit Bumrah and supported by talented bowlers like Mohammed Siraj, will provide the team with the necessary stimulus. Heading into the series, India have suffered a major blow with Virat Kohli pulling out of the first two games due to personal reasons. The first Test match between both teams will get underway from 25th January in Hyderabad.
