The Test series set to get underway on Friday (February 5) in Chennai.
The upcoming four-match Test series between India and England is very crucial for both teams as the winner of the Test series with a specific margin will be the second finalist alongside New Zealand to battle for the inaugural ICC World Test Championship trophy on June 18 at Lord’s.
Team India and England cricket team both are ready for the big battle with the first Test getting underway at the M Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai from Friday (February 5).
Well, ahead of the first Test in Chennai, the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) gave a behind-the-scenes peek at the Indian cricket team’s fun photoshoot in whites for the home series against England.
Sharing a short clip on Twitter on Thursday (February 4), the BCCI captioned the post: “A behind-the-scenes peek at #TeamIndia's fun photoshoot in whites ahead of the @Paytm #INDvENG Test series,”
Have a look here:
Meanwhile, India captain Virat Kohli will return as captain against England, while senior bowlers Ishant Sharma and R Ashwin have also recovered from their respective injuries and will return to the team.
All-rounder Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah, who missed Brisbane Test, will also return to action in the upcoming Test series against England starting Friday.
Noteworthy, India is in brilliant form and will look to continue the momentum gained from a historic Test series win in Australia against England – the side is also in good form having defeated Sri Lanka 2-0 in the two-match Test series last month.
