England will face India in a four-Test series starting from Friday, February 5.
Team India is all set to lock horns against England in all three formats, starting with the Test leg on Friday, February 5. While both teams are coming off Test series victories, the series might turn out to be exciting if England uses their resources well.
However, according to former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir, England might fail to win a single Test match out of the four. The only game where the visitors have a 50% chance of winning is the Day/Night Test at Ahmedabad.
Gautam Gambhir said on Star Sports show 'Game Plan', "I don’t see England winning any of the Test matches with the kind of spin attack they’ve got. It has to be 3-0 India or probably 3-1. I’m only going to give a Pink Ball Test match, probably 50-50 to England just from the conditions point of view."

The former Indian opener also believes that a confident Indian bowling attack at home will be a different challenge for Joe Root the batsman, who was in a brilliant touch against Sri Lanka.
Root scored a double hundred (228) and almost a double hundred (186) in the two-Test matches in the island nation before coming to India.
"This is going to be a completely different challenge for someone like Joe Root. Yes, he has played really well in Sri Lanka, but when you face people like Jasprit Bumrah on any wicket, or for that matter, R Ashwin, when his confidence is sky-high after what he has done in Australia, I am sure it is going to be a completely different beast and a completely different ball game," Gambhir said.
