The legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has shared his prediction for the upcoming five -match testing series between India and England. Tendulkar expressed confidence in the ability to give a strong performance to the party-led side by Shubman Gill and supported India to win the Test series by a 3–1 margin in England.
India will play a series without veteran Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The team will take the beginning of this transitional phase as a Test captain with Shubman Gill. Team India will start the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 bicycle with the first Test set to be held in Leeds on Friday.
I have settled in India 3–1 – bold prediction for Sachin Tendulkar’s England series
Sachin Tendulkar recalled India’s 1-0 Test series win in England in 2007 under Rahul Dravid’s captaincy. Tendulkar hoped that the current Indian team could secure the victory of a series, saying that fans would continue to celebrate such a memorable victory for the coming years.
Your daily dose of cricket!
“I have settled for India 3–1. Many good performances were performed by individuals … Zaheer (Khan) played a role. I think everyone is coming together and then chipping at the right time makes a big difference. I still remember that we were celebrating in the dressing room, celebrating at the oval,” Sachin told ESPN Cricinfo.
“Such moments are with you forever. We are still talking about it 18 years down. I hope we are able to do this series too, so we can still talk about it under the line 20 years below the line.”
A lot of Jasprit Bumrah and … – Sachin will depend on Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar said that Jasprit Bumrah will be an important person in India’s bowling attack. He said that Bumrah would lead the pace unit and play an important role in India’s opportunities on the tour.
“I think the bowling attack will depend a lot on Bumrah and how other people support him. Bumrah, without any doubt, is going to be our strike bowler. Along with this, the rest of what I have experienced, how it is, Prasad is good.”
“Arshdeep Singh, Shardul Thakur, and Nitesh Reddy will be assistant bowlers. Harshit Rana, I am remembering some names, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav. I think the attack is a balanced attack. I hope we do something good.”
Jasprit Bumrah’s charge should be monitored throughout the England series
The charge of Jasprit Bumrah will be managed during the series. Chief selector Ajit Aggarkar confirmed that Bumrah has been advised to play back-to-back test after medical advice. The right -handed fast bowler retained a back injury during the Sydney Test against Australia in January.
Bumrah missed India’s Champions Trophy campaign but returned to competitive cricket for Mumbai Indians (MI) during the IPL.
Next to the tour of England, head coach Gautam Gambhir said that the team has not yet been finalized in which test Bumrah will play during the series. Bumrah features in three matches during the tour.
